Use of models and value-sensitive design interesting and informative.

Welcome to Week 10! I hope you found Week 9 readings surrounding the use of models and value-sensitive design interesting and informative.

Week 9 covered the complexities of introducing new tools and technologies for policymaking. A comprehensive understanding of approaches, tools, and technologies that support stakeholder participation can assist the policymaking process with better policy choices. This week, we will learn stakeholder participation as a general principle in policymaking and the types of engagement tools and processes, as well as the factors that support the effective use of these tools in the policymaking processes and approaches.

The tasks for this week include the readings, a quiz and participation in the discussion forum. Keep up the good discussions and interactions with your peers in the discussion threads. I read all your posts and I am impressed with your responses. Review the rubrics for the expectation of your submission. Continue to put forth a good effort in the upcoming weeks.

Discussion:

Chapter 9 discussed the importance of stakeholder engagement in policy-making. The author presented several benefits and an analysis of five cases in which stakeholder engagement added value to the policy-making process. If you were leading a project to develop a comprehensive policy for managing pedestrian traffic flow in a popular downtown metropolitan district, what measures would you take to engage stakeholders in that project? Your answer should outline your suggestions and clearly explain why each one would add value. To complete this assignment, you must do the following:

A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, you will assume the role of the project manager of a project to develop a comprehensive policy for managing pedestrian traffic flow in a popular downtown metropolitan district, what measures would you take to engage stakeholders in that project? Your answer should identify the project stakeholders, outline your suggestions and clearly explain why each one would add value. B) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that students recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread. ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)

NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your word. Do not ATTACH your discussion post. Type your post in the message box.
