Artefact Centric Model for Digital Innovation

Many artefacts of today are non-digital or only partly digital. Digital features can often be added to these artefacts to make them more digital. However, for designers, it can be challenging to figure out what digital features to add. In this paper, we outline an artefact centric approach that addresses the challenge called Artefact Centric Model for Digital Innovation (ACMDI). For the time being, ACMDI works only for information artefacts. In the paper, ACMDI is demonstrated on an example of an educational tool called Apprenticeship Simulation (AS). AS is a tool facilitating students acquiring modelling skills; AS was developed by digitalizing an ordinary text description of a business case.
