ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses a study which used grounded methodology to analyse pilot tests and evaluate participatory practice. The aim of the study was to help develop and evaluate inclusive technologies for a large, multi-country project called Accessible Resources for Cultural Heritage Eco-Systems (ARCHES). The analysis for this evaluation was conducted using grounded methodology in a traditional way, and included interviews and structured exercises as data collection methods. Its outcomes fed into the design of educational technologies and key performance indicators that were designed to inform the policies of the European Union, which funded the study.
