The value of involving people as 'users' or 'participants' in the design process is increasingly becoming a point of debate. In this paper we describe a new framework, called 'informant design', which advocates efficiency of input from different people: maximizing the value of contributions from various informants and design team members at different stages of the design process. To illustrate how this can be achieved we describe a project that uses children and teachers as informants at different stages to help us design an interactive learning environment for teaching ecology.

"It wasn’t until 1997, that the role of child as informant became more clearly defined. It was at that time that Scaife et al., presented Designing for or designing with? Informant design for interactive learning experiences (1997). In this critical CHI 97 publication, they described the notion of “informant design.” The authors questioned when children should be a part of the design process, and what contributions could be important for the design of technology. Before this time, numerous researchers were including children in the design process, but not making a distinction of when. Were children testers at the end of the design process? Were children partners working throughout the process? Were children informants helping the design process at various critical times? Scaife and Rogers (1999) continued to question these important notions in their follow-up publication, Kids as informants: Telling us what we didn’t know or confirming what we knew already. In this book chapter, they explained, “What is not in doubt, then, is that children can be brought into the design process and make a contribution. What is less clear is whether we can generalize about the relationship that they can be expected to have with designers” (p. 30)." (p 114)},
