Cross-Device Augmented Reality Annotations Method for Asynchronous Collaboration in Unprepared Environments
2021
Augmented Reality (AR) annotations are a powerful way of communication when collaborators cannot be present at the same time in a given environment. However, this situation presents several challenges, for example: how to record the AR annotations for later consumption, how to align virtual and real world in unprepared environments or how to offer the annotations to users with different AR devices. In this paper we present a cross-device AR annotation method that allows users to create and display annotations asynchronously in environments without the need for prior preparation (AR markers, point cloud capture, etc.). This is achieved through an easy user-assisted calibration process and a …
Students evaluating Internet sources – From versatile evaluators to uncritical readers
2008
The Internet is a significant information resource for students due to the ease of access it allows to a vast amount of information. As the quality of the information on the Internet varies, it is important that students are able to evaluate such information critically. The aim of the study was to investigate how students evaluate Internet sources in an authentic learning task. Upper secondary school students ( n = 25) were asked to look for source material on the Internet in order to write an essay. They were asked to verbalize their thoughts during the material gathering process. Their verbalizations and actions on the Internet were recorded and analyzed. The five evaluation profiles eme…
Oppimisen teknologiat osana oppimisen esteitä kohtaavien peruskoululaisten elämää
2017
Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia on merkittävä osa jokapäiväistä elämäämme. Nämä teknologiat ovat löytäneet tiensä kouluihin myös Suomessa, ja erilaisia oppimisen teknologioita onkin otettu ahkerasti käyttöön ympäri maata. Teknologian integroiminen osaksi opetusta ei kuitenkaan aina suju täysin ongelmitta. Laitteiden käytössä saattaa ilmetä ongelmia, ja vaikka infrastruktuuri teknologian käytölle olisikin olemassa, ovat verkkoyhteydet paikoitellen epävakaita. Näiden ongelmien kanssa painivat sekä opettajat että oppilaat. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on tutkia oppimisen teknologioiden vaikutuksia erityisesti oppimisen esteitä kohtaavien oppilaiden oppimiseen. Oppimisen esteitä, kuten erilaisi…
Prepublicaciones: distribucion centralizada vs. descentralizada.
2000
Prepublications are accounts of research results that are distributed prior to formal publication in scientific journals. They are the form of scholarly communication that has taken more advantage of the advances in telecommunication and information technologies. Their electronic distribution has taken a different form within the disciplines. In this paper we compare the decentralized model of Economies with the centralized model of Physics.<br><br>Las Prepublicaciones, borradores de trabajos distribuídos antes de su publicacion formal en revistas, han sido el proceso de comunicación científica que más se ha beneficiado de los avances en telecomunicaciones. Su distribución elect…
Privacy Versus Security in the Internet Era
2015
Abstract There are a lots of conflict going on in the world right now. One of this conflict we are put into discussion here, is the battle for supremacy in the internet, the battle between privacy and security. We are changing fundamentally the way we are doing things till the Internet era arrive. Every data that we use online became a product. There is no more private information, everything became public with or without the population will. There are also a lot of discussion about who have a greater power on the Internet, government, companies, hackers, criminals, terrorists, or others. Unfortunately the neuter population is catch in the middle of this battle.
A Conceptual Model for the IT-supported International Subsidiary Establishment Process
2004
This study examines how the IT-supported international subsidiary establishment process can be implemented. An in-depth literature review uncovered that there is a significant lack of literature to guide managers about how to execute the establishment process of a subsidiary through the support of various IT-tools. This study, by answering the research question “What are the phases in the establishment of a subsidiary through IT-support and how have the phases been executed?” introduces a conceptual model for the IT-supported international subsidiary establishment process. The research findings are useful for both practice and further research. peerReviewed
Using assessment for learning mathematics with mobile tablet based solutions
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET). Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.3991/ijet.v9i2.3219 This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. Teachers of large classes face the challenge of regularly assessing students’ ongoing mathematical learning achievements. Taking the complexity of assessment and feedback for learning as a background, we have developed a new approach to the assessment for learning mathematics at university level. We devised mobile tablet technology supported assessment processes, and we carried out user studies in both Rwanda and Norway. Results of …
Humans and Their Technologies Play the Infinite Game
2019
Technology is increasingly about intuitive use and automation, as is evident to some degree in all the papers published in this issue. Technological--and one could say, even civilizational--progress is made possible by automating necessary but often tedious and tiresome processes. This then frees people's time and energy for a variety of recreational, inspirational, and/or developmental tasks. However, as the automation of society advances, the meaning of work changes and new existential and ethical questions emerge. nonPeerReviewed
Blended transdiagnostic group CBT for emotional disorders: A feasibility trial protocol
2021
Introduction Emotional disorders (anxiety and depressive disorders) are a relevant public health concern associated with high prevalence, high costs, and important disability. Therefore, research priorities include designing and testing cost-effective interventions to reach everyone in need. Internet-delivered interventions for emotional disorders are effective and can help to disseminate and implement evidence-based treatments. However, although these treatments are generally effective, not all patients benefit from this treatment format equally. Blended treatments are a new form of intervention that combines the strengths of face-to-face and Internet approaches. Nevertheless, research on …
Barriers and wellbeing-oriented enablers of intergenerational innovation in the digital age
2021
AbstractSo far, researchers have used a wellbeing-centered approach to catalyze successful intergenerational collaboration (IGC) in innovative activities. However, due to the subject’s multidisciplinary nature, there is still a dearth of comprehensive research devoted to constructing the IGC system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill a research void by providing a conceptual framework for information technology (IT) system designers to use as a jumping-off point for designing an IGC system with a wellbeing-oriented design. A systematic literature study was conducted to identify relevant terms and develop a conceptual framework based on a review of 75 selected scientific papers. The …
