DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SPACE CONNECTING TEACHERS AND REFUGEE CHILDREN - A DESIGN SCIENCE RESEARCH STUDY

2020

Learning the German language is one of the most critical challenges for refugee children in Germany. It is a prerequisite to allow communication and integration into the educational system. To solve the underlying problem, we conceptualized a set of principles for the design of language learning systems to support collaboration between teachers and refugee children, using a Design Science Research approach. The proposed design principles offer functional and non-functional requirements of systems, including the integration of open educational resources, different media types to develop visual and audio narratives that can be linked to the cultural and social background. This study also illu…

Life-based design for technical solutions in social and voluntary work

2012

The Social and Voluntary work sector operates outside the organised boundaries and systems of normal business, financial and government organisational institutions. My target during this research has been to develop an optimum solution for decision support towards committing and accepting resources in the Social Work and Voluntary sector. In initial part of this monograph, I have traced the history of Design Thinking from the time it was ‘art and craft’ until modern times where multiple approaches are tried, tested and implemented for solution development. For the actual application development, I have chosen the Life-based Design conceptual framework. Three design iterations were made in t…

Carsharing business models in Germany: characteristics, success and future prospects

2017

Carsharing provides an alternative to private car ownership by allowing car use temporarily on an on-demand basis. Operators provide carsharing services using different business models and ownership structures. We distinguish between cooperative, business-to-consumer (B2C) roundtrip and one-way, as well as peer-topeer (P2P) carsharing. This paper characterizes these different types of business models and compares their success in terms of diffusion using a comprehensive database of all 101 German carsharing providers in 2016. The key result holds that fleet size is significantly different across business models ranging from a few cars (cooperatives in small towns), to a few hundred (B2C rou…

Effectuation Logic in Digital Business Model Transformation : Insights from Japanese High-Tech Innovators

2019

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study how digital business models evolve when entrepreneurs move to new digital platforms and how this evolution is related to effectuation and causation logics. Design/methodology/approach This study applies a multiple case study approach to investigate how digital business models change in small, Japanese high-tech firms providing their innovations through different digital platforms. To investigate digital business models, this study considers the elements that comprise general business models. The case firms were selected based on size, products and transitions from physical to various digital platforms. Semi-structured interviews were conducted …

The Design Towards a Collaborative Subscription Service : The Case of The Finnish Newspaper Industry

2020

The newspaper industry is challenged with its business models. To stabilize revenues, publishers opted for digital subscriptions for generating additional revenue streams. However, digital subscriptions showcase limited success. News aggregator platforms may promise publishers a pool of paying readers. But platform fees and the loss of customer relationships enact barriers among publishers to join. This study proposes a software prototype based on design science research to address the aforementioned shortcomings by deriving design principles for a collaborative subscription service. Building on the strategic alliance, digital platform and business model literature, this research aims to id…

Why Is Your Crowd Abandoning You? : Exploring Crowdsourcing Discontinuance through the Lens of Motivation Theory

2019

A typical crowdsourcing platform connects organisations in need for workforce to individuals willing to work for a compensation. Considering that a motivated crowd constitutes a vital resource of such platforms, nurturing it becomes a crucial managerial consideration. Yet, little is known of why individual workers abandon crowdsourcing platforms after long periods of usage. Therefore, we set out to explore how crowd-workers’ motivations change during a platform’s usage lifecycle, from initial usage, to continued use, to its eventual abandonment. To this end, we conducted an in-depth qualitative inquiry into a popular crowdsourcing platform in the software-testing domain. Leveraging self-det…

Arviointiosaamisen kehittäminen digitaalisessa oppimisympäristössä

2021

Digitalisoituvat oppimisympäristöt ja oppimisen tukeminen teknologiavälitteisesti ohjaavat kiinnittämään huomiota myös arviointikäytänteiden kehittämiseen. Oppimisympäristön muuttuminen haastaakin tarkastelemaan kriittisesti, miten summatiivinen ja formatiivinen arviointi tukevat oppimista ja tarjoavat palautetta oppimisprosessin eri vaiheissa. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan Peda.netin digitaalisen arviointityökalun kehittämistyötä osana Opettajien arviointiosaaminen oppimisen, osallisuuden ja tuen toteutumisen edistäjänä (OPA) -hanketta. Kehittämistyön tavoitteena on tukea sekä kouluttajien että opiskelijoiden formatiivisen arviointiosaamisen kehittymistä erityisesti opettajankoulutukses…

Critical Exploration of Flexible Delivery

2020

This work-in-progress research article presents an introductory qualitative study on students' perceptions of a flexibly delivered, modular computer science course. Many contemporary approaches to education rely in various ways on flexible delivery of course content. This is often done to capitalize on modern technology and the web, and to put the student ‘in the center.' However, it is becoming manifest that these approaches may challenge both the students and the equity between them, making it important to understand the effects of flexible delivery in terms of the students. In the voice of our students, flexible delivery was seen as a largely positive approach, reducing stress, promoting…
