Louise Couceiro will begin by offering a brief explanation of the cultural probe method; what it is and where it originated, before outlining how she developed the method for online use. In her study exploring children's responses to nonfiction books about women, Louise sent participants a 'reader response toolkit' - an adaptation of cultural probes - and received a multitude of creative and surprising responses in return. Following this presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to work in small groups to design their own cultural probe adaptation for online use. There will be plenty of time during the course to share ideas and ask questions.
