Saavutettavuutta kaikille? : viitottujen verkkotekstien laatu ja käytettävyys viittomakielten elinvoimaisuuden ja kielenoppimisen näkökulmasta
2022
Viime aikoina on keskusteltu viittomakielisten ja viittomakielelle tulkattujen verkkotekstien laadusta. Viittomakieliset ovat kokeneet, että viitottujen verkkotekstien laatu vaihtelee paljon. Viitottuja verkkotekstejä käytetään monissa paikoissa kielenopetustyössä, kirjastoissa ja eri medioiden saavutettavuuden kehittämistyössä. Käsittelin maisterintutkielmassani (2021) viitottujen verkkotekstien laatua tekstien käytettävyyden ja kieliasiantuntijoiden näkökulmista. Millainen rooli on kuuroilla, äidinkielisillä kieliammattilaisilla, kääntäjillä ja tulkeilla pienissä viitotuissa vähemmistökielissä? nonPeerReviewed
E-health systems in digital environments
2019
As we live in the digital world, people can be provided with more effective treatment methods that allow them to live longer in their home and to live there better. People can be provided with better home care and preventive health care. People can easily carry portable sensors and intelligent devices in their bodies and wrists that relay their vital information to hospital systems in real time, from which healthcare staff can track human vitality even in real time. Although the digital world offers good opportunities to improve healthcare systems and make disease analyses more effective, we must look deeper about that issue. Devices and systems may not work well together. Almost every manu…
From places to platforms : Examining the transformation of servicescapes
2022
Place represents one of the underlying elements of the marketing mix. However, due to ongoing digitalisation, places have undergone substantial changes in recent years. With the transition from physical shopping environments towards intangible Internet spaces and digital platforms, how places affect consumer behaviour and how consumers use places are rapidly changing. This transition challenges the existing conceptualisation of place as a physical environment. In the online environment, consumers can no longer rely on physical and tangible cues to complement their shopping experience. Instead, they have to learn the logic of technological platforms and the rules of interaction in digital sp…
The role of social capital in digitalised retail servicescape
2021
This chapter examines how digitalisation has altered the way consumers experience the social interaction and service environment while shopping in retail stores. In this, we draw on the concept of servicescape, which comprises both tangible and intangible features which make up the service experience. Recognising the three realms of servicescape (physical, digital and social), we explore the role of social capital in determining the customer experience in digitalised retail servicescape. We demonstrate that social capital has two specific roles. Firstly, it is an integral part of the customer experience and thus contributes to the service experience. Secondly, social capital is created in t…
‘Interesting but scary’ : Customers' perceived value of MyData
2022
Digitalisation has facilitated saving data in various warehouses. While Big Data is a new form of capital that is often considered an asset for organisations, the potential value of data to customers has seldom been addressed. This chapter discusses MyData (personified and personalised data) and aims to increase our understanding of its benefits and the value created when customers use their own data. The empirical data for this paper were collected from customers of a large retail organisation that adopted the practice of sharing data with customers. This study has found that value accruing from customer’s shopping data is multifaceted and can be either positive (creating value) or negativ…
A Customer Perspective on Omnichannel Customer Journey and Channel Usage : A Qualitative Study
2022
This qualitative study investigates customer behavior during the omnichannel customer journey. The study aims to increase the understanding of omnichannel service environments from a customer-centric point of view. The data was collected by interviewing 10 young adults (from 26 to 30 years old) who had bought a Finnish clothing brand (R-Collection) product via a digital or a physical channel. The research interviews dealt with the interviewees' experiences and channel behavior during their shopping journeys. Our results reflect the multidimensional nature of the omnichannel customer journey and give interesting insights into the usage of digital channels and technologies for clothing shoppi…
Student Teachers' Perceptions of the Connection between Literacy, Equality and Digitalization
2022
Digitalization has many implications for the development of equality in societies and is also reflected in education. In a digitalized world, literacy is an essential skill for both individual and societal development. This study explores Finnish student teachers' perceptions of the connection between literacy, equality, and digitalization. The research material consists of professional opinion pieces written by student teachers (N=37). The qualitative study examined student teachers' perceptions of literacy, equality, and digitalization. Student teachers' perceptions concerned pupils' polarizing backgrounds for learning, literacy instruction and the challenge of differentiating classes, de…
Aikuinen(kin) tarvitsee monenlaista kirjoittamista
2021
Lukutaitoa on tutkittu pitkään monista eri näkökulmista, ja säännöllisesti saamme lukea mediassa laajojen lukutaitotutkimusten tuloksista. PIRLS- ja PISA-tutkimukset kertovat suomalaislasten ja -nuorten lukutaidosta kansainvälisessä vertailussa (Mullis, Martin, Foy & Hooper 2017; OECD 2019a), ja PIAAC-tutkimus antaa tietoa työikäisten aikuisten luku- ja digitaidoista (OECD 2019b). Kirjoittaminen on tutkimuksissa jäänyt lukutaitoa vähäisemmälle huomiolle (Kauppinen, Pentikäinen, Hankala, Kulju, Harjunen & Routarinne 2015), eikä edes lasten ja nuorten kirjoitustaitoa ja kirjoittamista ole tutkittu siinä määrin kuin lukutaitoa. Aikuisten kirjoittaminen on jäänyt tekstitaitotutkimuksen marginaa…
Sense of belonging in a digitalised care work community
2021
This chapter uses the theoretical framework of sense of belonging to explore how eldercare workers from Finnish service housing units for older people describe the use of digital devices and applications in their work and the work practices that relate to their sense of belonging. The study is based on interview data (n = 25) that was collected in 2018 for a study on digitalisation of eldercare. The chapter asks: what does a sense of belonging mean for care workers’ agency in a digital era? The analysis concentrates especially on the practices of belonging and how they are enacted in a digitalised work environment. The chapter proposes that in the digital era, a sense of belonging is partic…
Teknologisten laitteiden ja sovellusten käyttö vanhustyössä : työn piirteiden ja yksilötekijöiden vaikutusten tarkastelua
2021
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan vanhustyössä käytettyjen teknologisten laitteiden ja sovellusten yleisyyttä ja toisaalta niiden käytön riippuvuutta työhön liittyvistä ja yksilöllisistä tekijöistä. Teknologian käyttö tiivistyy kolmeen pääulottuvuuteen: mobiiliin hoivateknologiaan, toimistoteknologiaan ja viihdeteknologiaan. Käyttöä määritti ensi sijassa sektori ja toimipaikan tyyppi, ei niinkään työntekijän yksilölliset piirteet. Viitteitä on myös siitä, että työn teknologisoituminen etenee ylhäältä alaspäin ja on yhteydessä nimenomaan työn rakenteellisiin piirteisiin. New technologies and applications are expected to cut expenditures, ease the workload of employees, and improve the quality of el…
