The rise in social computing has facilitated a shift from consumer cultures,
focused on producing finished media to be consumed passively, to cultures of
participation, where people can access the means to participate actively in personally
meaningful problems. These developments represent unique and fundamental
opportunities and challenges for rethinking and reinventing design rationale and
creativity, as people acclimate to taking part in computer-mediated conversations of
issues and their solutions. Grounded in our long-term research exploring these topics,
this paper articulates arguments, describes and discusses conceptual frameworks and
system developments (in the context of three case studies), and provides evidence that
design rationale and creativity need not be at odds with each other. Coordinating and
integrating collective design rationale and social creatively provide new synergies and
opportunities, particularly amid complex, open-ended, and ill-defined design problems
requiring contributions and collaboration of multiple stakeholders supported by sociotechnical
environments in cultures of participation.
