Participation Personas

Real life contributors are complex and always changing, but these personas will more easily let us enter the headspace of the individuals and their unique perspectives. As we contemplate participation and learning pathways, we can refer to our personas by name.

Generously Apply Lenses

In addition to the Persona attributes and stories, we should apply each ‘lense’ below to our Pesonas as a test for diversity, inclusion and overall humanness of our Participation design.
