Strategic Design Towards Platform Collaboration in The Newspaper Industry: A Design Science Research Study
2020
The newspaper industry is challenged by unsustainable business models. To stabilize dwindling revenue streams, publishers opted for digital subscriptions as one avenue for generating additional revenue streams. Large publishers have indeed benefited from rising subscription numbers. However, smaller publishers are challenged to achieve the same results. Some of the root causes are high churn rates, adoption costs and lock-in effects of subscription services. News aggregator platforms may promise newspaper publishers a large pool of paying readers. But platform fees and the loss of direct customer relationships enact commercial barriers among publishers. This study proposes design science re…

Tieto- ja viestintätekniikka on nykyisin mukana koulujen arjessa ja myös ylioppilaskokeet ovat sähköistymässä. Lisäksi uuden lukion opetussuunnitelman mukaan opettajien tulisi osata käyttää TVT:tä entistä monipuolisemmin, jotta oppimistavoitteet täyttyisivät. Aiempien tutkimusten mukaan opettajilla on kuitenkin hyvin vaihtelevat taidot sen käytössä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten saksan kielen opettajat suhtautuvat tieto- ja viestintätekniikan käyttöön opetuksessa ja mitä mieltä he ovat sekä sähköisistä opetusmateriaaleista, että uudesta sähköisestä saksan ylioppilaskokeesta. Aineisto kerättiin teemahaastatteluilla, joissa haastateltiin kuutta (6) lukion saksanopettajaa…
Songs Perceived as Relaxing : Musical Features, Lyrics, and Contributing Mechanisms
2020
How we listen to music has been changing rapidly in the last years, with online streaming becoming more predominant. Besides the gain in accessibility for the listeners, the growth of online services also affords easier access to data for musical analyses. A growing body of research has been showing that daily life music listening serves varied functions, from affect regulation to social bonding. More specifically, the reduction of stress responses is quite pertinent in the contemporary world, and recent studies have high-lighted the importance of adequate musical choices. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of music that individuals perceive as favorable to relax and to compar…
Säveltäminen vuorovaikutuksena : musiikkiopiston tilausteoksen sävellysprosessi diskursiivisena kohtauspaikkana
2010
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, millaiseksi Lapin musiikkiopiston tilaussävellys, oppilasorkesteriteos Revontuulet, ja sen sävellysprosessi muotoutuivat säveltäjän ja musiikkiopiston välisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Tilaussävellys oli osa valtakunnallista Säveltäjä musiikkioppilaitoksessa -hanketta, johon Lapin musiikkiopisto osallistui valitsemalla kotisäveltäjäkseen yhden lukuvuoden ajaksi säveltäjä Sanna Ahvenjärven. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin säveltämistä vuorovaikutuksen näkökulmasta. Tutkimus suoritettiin laadullisena tapaustutkimuksena, jossa tilaussävellystä ja sen sävellysprosessia jäsennettiin sekä säveltämisen teorioiden että kriittisen diskurssianalyysin avulla. Säveltämisen teorioide…
Enhancing the experience of online users of open education
2014
The limited adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) has kicked off the launch of several projects to search for possible solutions. One of these projects is “Open Educational Ideas and Innovations” (OEI2). The goal of this project is to find alternatives for increasing the uptake of OER and facilitating the collaborative development of OER. To enhance the experience of the users of open education, we interviewed twelve educators and researchers from different higher education institutions across Europe focusing on gathering insights about idea sharing experiences. In this paper, we present our key findings based on these interviews and outline some recommendations for our next open edu…
Towards a scenario of virtual mental health environments for school-aged children
2017
This study explores student teachers’ future design scenarios focusing on promoting children’s mental health literacy through virtual reality (VR) environments. VR use is on the verge of many breakthroughs in several areas of lived experience. One such area pertains to educational contexts. Student teachers were chosen as the subjects of this study due to the likelihood that they will be the primary users and disseminators of these emerging technologies in educational contexts. The students created five types of future scenarios that contained different environments and activity modes, including those that are still not yet feasible to realize with current technological capabilities. The ai…
Visual-manual in-car tasks decomposed: text entry and kinetic scrolling as the main sources of visual distraction
2013
Distraction effects of in-car tasks with a touch screen based navigation system user interface were studied in a driving simulator experiment with eye tracking. The focus was to examine which particular in-car task components visually distract drivers the most. The results indicate that all of the visual-manual in-car tasks led to increased levels of experienced demands and to lower driving speeds. The most significant finding was that text entry and kinetic scrolling of lists were the main sources of visual distraction whereas simple selection tasks with familiar target locations led to least severe distraction effects.
Understanding beginners' mistakes with Haskell
2015
AbstractThis article presents an overview of student difficulties in an introductory functional programming (FP) course taught in Haskell. The motivation for this study stems from our belief that many student difficulties can be alleviated by understanding the underlying causes of errors and by modifying the educational approach and, possibly, the teaching language accordingly. We analyze students' exercise submissions and categorize student errors according to compiler error messages and then manually according to the observed underlying cause. Our study complements earlier studies on the topic by applying computer and manual analysis while focusing on providing descriptive statistics of d…
Revisiting rainfall to explore exam questions and performance on CS1
2015
The Rainfall problem comprises small tasks that have been used to investigate student performance in introductory programming. We conducted several kinds of analyses to inform our understandings of student performance in CS1 relating to this problem. We analyzed implementation approaches and program errors, as in related studies, and also explored the role of test writing vis-a-vis the most common student error. Finally, using correlation analyses and manual inspection of the exam answers, we studied how well the Rainfall problem served as an exam question. The students' implementation choices reflected their familiarity with particular loop constructs, while the single most common error co…
How and Why to Start and Run a SIGCHI Local Chapter
2015
There is a vast and increasing interest towards local HCI communities around the globe and in particular on geographical areas in which HCI has only recently started to gain increasing interest by local industries as well as academic institutions. A SIGCHI Local Chapter is one of the ways a local HCI community can organize and get visibility and support for their activities. However, many active volunteers in this field might not be aware of this possibility. The main goal of the Chapters' SIG in CHI'15 is to inform interested parties of SIGCHI Local Chapters and to find ways in which SIGCHI could better support local HCI communities with their various needs all over the world.
