User experience and the security of graphical passwords

2015

Graafiset salasanat ovat lupaava vaihtoehto alfanumeeriselle autentikaatiolle. Älypuhelinten ja muiden korkea resoluutioisten kosketusnäytöllisten laitteiden määrä on kasvussa ja alfanumeeriset salasanat ovat kehitetty alun perin näppäimistölle syötettäviksi. Tarkkuutta vaativa kirjoittaminen ei tällöin ole välttämättä käyttäjälle kaikkein mielekkäintä. Graafisia ja alfanumeerisia salasanoja on tutkittu muistin toiminnan sekä käytettävyyden näkökulmasta. Tutkielma on tehty kirjallisuuden pohjalta käyttäen apuna erilaisia tieteellisia julkaisuja sisältäviä tietokantoja, kuten IEE Explore ja ACM Digital Library - tietokantoja. Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kuvata ja tutkia tieteellisten artikk…

From experiencing sites of past to the future of the Demolition Man and how graffiti fits to all

2019

This paper explores the possibilities graffiti can provide to research user experience, focusing in those that might emerge in urban environments. The concept of User Experience (UX) can be seen as a consciously experienced phenomenon entailing for example biological, psychological and cultural, spatial and temporal aspects. Graffiti can be used as a tool to study experiences and meanings in physical and social places and practices. This can be done by studying direct experiences while completing a task, but also for example by narratives and memories involving graffiti. As the technology develops, it is incorporated in our lives, becoming more adaptive and virtual. This might have a strong…

Exploring students’ metacognition in relation to an integral-area evaluation task

2021

Several studies have been conducted to explore students’ understanding of the integral-area relationships, however, only a few focused on students’ metacognition in relation to this topic. In this study, students’ metacognitive knowledge, skills, and experiences in relation to an integral-area evaluation task are explored using semi-structured interviews and think-aloud protocol. The results show that several students developed monitoring strategies in relation to integral-area relationships; however, they do not use these strategies when solving integral-area tasks. The findings suggest that teachers and lecturers could use monitoring strategies more often when solving mathematical questio…

Learning, teaching and integration of adult migrants in Finland

2017

Learning a new vocation or re-learning one that was previously mastered is considered one of the essential pathways for migrant integration into the Finnish labour market. Thus, vocational educators should have competencies that support teaching adults with diverse educational, vocational, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds, and enhance their participation in the learning community. This research examines learning, teaching, and integration of adult migrants in Finland. The study analyses what educators and adult migrant students focus on when talking about learning and teaching. First, the aim was to gain an understanding of the core aspects that trainers and migrant students refer to wh…

Biopsychosocial Profiles of Patients With Cardiac Disease in Remote Rehabilitation Processes : Mixed Methods Grounded Theory Approach

2021

Background: Digital development has caused rehabilitation services and rehabilitees to become increasingly interested in using technology as a part of rehabilitation. This study was based on a previously published study that categorized 4 groups of patients with cardiac disease based on different experiences and attitudes toward technology (e-usage groups): feeling outsider, being uninterested, reflecting benefit, and enthusiastic using. Objective: This study identifies differences in the biopsychosocial profiles of patients with cardiac disease in e-usage groups and deepen the understanding of these profiles in cardiac rehabilitation. Methods: Focus group interviews and measurements were c…

Capturing User Experiences of Mobile Information Technology with the Repertory Grid Technique

2010

We describe the application of the repertory grid technique (RGT) as a tool for capturing the user experience of technological artifacts. In noting the artificiality of assessing the emotional impact of interactive artifacts in isolation from cognitive judgments, we argue that HCI techniques must provide practical solutions regarding how to assess the holistic meaning of users’ interactive experiences. RGT is a candidate for this role. This paper takes the reader step by step through setting up, conducting, and analyzing a RGT study. RGT is a technique on the border between qualitative and quantitative research, unique in that it respects the wholeness of cognition and does not separate the…

Lost or not? : designing and evaluating user interfaces of mobile map services : the viewpoint of supporting users' location awareness

2016

The motivation for this thesis arose from the problem of people getting lost, both with and without mobile maps. I will answer a primary research question: 1) How can we support users’ location awareness with mobile map applications? As an ad-dition to this, I have the following sub-questions: a) Why do people get lost even when using a mobile map application? b) What are the best practices to support navigation? c) How can we research what the important objects in the natural environment are that should be emphasized in mobile maps? d) How do we prevent the user from focusing on the map service at the expense of perceiving the location in the real environment? e) What would a good mobile m…

Gender differences in usage and user experience of Oiva App

2015

Previous research has indicated that gender is an important demographic to consider when designing effective and tailored technology interventions. Despite this need, gender differences is still an understudied topic in the field of technology interventions. The objective of this study was to study gender differences in usage and user experience of a mental wellness app called Oiva. Gender differences in the app’s effect on the participants’ mental well-being were also investigated. Oiva is a stand-alone mental wellness app that aims to increase its users’ psychological flexibility by teaching Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) based skills. The study population of the current study wa…
