We propose an inquiry-based methodology for educating learners and work force with different backgrounds in digital (process) design and production. The (digital) Dalton Plan support environment presented in this paper empowers learners through promoting self-regulated and targeted capacity building. It qualifies in coupling articulation work, learning support, and additive production of goods or services featuring ideation, problem- and project orientation.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...

In this paper1 we describe a study investigating small-scale creative strategies that groups of Scandinavian high school students use when collaboratively building LEGO models. We recorded thirty groups of students building three models each. We studied groups building with traditional plastic bricks and also using a digital environment. The building tasks students undertake, and our subsequent analysis, are informed by the role constraints and ambiguity play in creative processes. Based on the insights we gained, we present three strategies for designing tools and environments that support students as they develop creative skills. These strategies relate to: tools and materials, mutual learning, and reflection.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...

The final list includes twelve causes of reactance that have been shown to appear in the field of human-computer interaction. The individual causes are discussed and examples provided. Finally, strategies for avoiding reactance in human-computer interaction are proposed and possible future directions for reactance research in this field are recommended.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...

This paper presents a new contribution to knowledge from work-in-progress in a feasibility study of facilitated reminiscence for people with dementia and results show promise in understanding the behaviour of users of interactive technologies.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...

One well-defined approach developed in psychology is Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which in this paper is adapted to professional UX research practice. The adaptation is put to test in the case of understanding how newly-arrived immigrants to Sweden experience a start-up service that introduce them to the job market. Contributions and shortcomings of the method in the views of professional UX researchers and designers are documented and discussed. It is concluded that IPA contributes to UX research by investigating both experience and meaning, and by providing holistic insights appropriate for service design and the fuzzy front-end of innovation.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...

Most tests are performed by elderly, computer naïve, and sometimes cognitively impaired subjects. Cognitive ergonomics in designing these tests can alleviate the subject's anxiety, and enhance their cognitive evaluation accuracy. One method to achieve this goal is to implement a complexity measure for the cognitive tasks and adjust the complexity level to each subject's capabilities, thus creating an adaptive psychological test. This paper details the design, implementation, and testing of a visual pattern complexity determination algorithm. The patterns used for the study were taken from computerized cognitive assessments. The algorithm was tested using three hundred binary images and compared to the complexity perceived via pair-comparison by human judges. Correlations of 72%, 74%, and 61% between human perception and the algorithm's predictions were obtained for easy, medium, and hard complexity levels, respectively. The algorithm has the potential to become an accurate measure of visual pattern complexity in computerized assessment, and could improve the usability of these tests for psychometric and cognitive evaluations.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...

ML techniques are being developed and applied to an ever-growing range of fields, from on-demand delivery to smart home. Nevertheless, these solutions are failing at getting mainstream adoption among interaction designers due to high complexity. In this paper we present the integration of two Machine Learning algorithms into UAPPI, our open source extension of the prototyping environment MIT App Inventor. In UAPPI much of the complexity related to ML has been abstracted away, providing easy-to-use graphical blocks for rapid prototyping Internet of Things solutions. We report on limits and opportunities emerged from the first two scenario-based explorations of our design process.","PeriodicalId":93284,"journal":{"name":"ECCE ... : proceedings of the ...
