1. My comment was about the applicability of heuristics based on universal design principles as a method to evaluate OLPC design. 2. As an excercise. > To measure success? ? Can heuristics measure success? > What is the primary goal with the OLPC, a successful 'design', or > to simply satisfy an enormous hunger for learning? A successful design to satisfy an enormous hunger for learning via exploration (the exploration is indeed the best way to learn - the most involving and with the most enduring results). From what I have seen Kay has succeeded. And, by the way, I admire both the idea and the approach.
