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…
Value Co-Creation Opportunities: Managerial Transformation of Digitisation Risks into Success Factors
2018
This chapter examines the challenges and risks managers in the healthcare sector perceive in relation to the development and implementation of digitised services in a healthcare case organisation. Using data collected from managers, focus group interviews and observation method within the case organisation, the authors present an analysis that demonstrates that the risks and success factors that influence the development and implementation of digital healthcare services are related to (1) setting a clear digital strategy and implementation plan, (2) integration of digital services with the overall process and ICT, (3) committed resources and engagement of personnel, and (4) the organisation…
Use of ICT to support epidemiological surveillance on a community of university students during SARS-CoV-2 phase 3 pandemic
2021
Populations documenting to date low incidence rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection are immunologically susceptible and at high exposure risk of new COVID-19 outbreaks during phase 3 of the pandemic. Following the experience documented by other countries with regard to the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) to counteract the current pandemic, Italy has implemented a contact tracing system based on a mobile application. In this work, we describe the proposal of a complementary ICT-based prototypal model of COVID-19 prevention and surveillance system, involving the university students as sentinels acting both in the academic community and the general population.

Exploring heterogeneous ICT use among older adults: The warm experts’ perspective
2020
In this article, we (1) examine the various forms of support required by older users (75+) of digital technology and (2) provide a concrete, everyday life rationale for why warm experts play such a pivotal role in the processes of adopting and using ICT. Although warm experts are usually not older adults themselves, they provide an important mediating view on the technology use among older people that has not been rigorously addressed in previous studies. Thus, in our analysis we examine the younger family members’ views on acting as warm experts to their older family members. The research data consist of 22 extended group interviews (EGI) and observation carried out in Finland. Based on ou…

Fake it 'till you make it : helping foreign language trainee teachers use ICT confidently
2017
Tieto- ja viestintäteknologia (TVT) on nyky-yhteiskunnassa erittäin tärkeässä osassa, ja jokaisen kansalaisen tulee omata tarvittavat taidot tietoyhteiskunnassa selviämiseen. Näitä tietoja ja taitoja opetellaan perusopetuksessa ja varsinkin uuden opetussuunnitelman myötä niitä tulisi opettaa osana kaikkia oppiaineita. Siten myös vieraiden kielten opettajien tulee kyetä käyttämään TVT:tä osana opetustaan. Moni opettaja kokee tarvitsevansa tukea näiden taitojen kehittämiseen, ja varsinkin juuri valmistuneet opettajat ja opettajaopiskelijat eivät koe saavansa riittävää koulutusta teknologian käsittelyyn ja sen käyttöön vieraiden kielten opetuksessa. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarjota ta…
Actual and Potential Pedagogical Use of Tablets in Schools
2013
This study reviews the potential of tablet technology for teaching and learning. In autumn 2012, we conducted a focused survey comprising quantitative and qualitative questions with Finnish teachers (N = 171, from 54 schools). We focused on perceived pedagogical opportunities and the actualized pedagogical potential of tablets at schools. The survey results indicate that the actual usefulness of tablets in schools was significantly less than what teachers perceived as the pedagogical potential. However, the results demonstrate the positive impact these devices are having on teaching and learning, as well as prompting changes in pedagogical perspectives. Teachers stated that tablets can dive…
E-Government Implementation: Transparency, Accessibility and Usability of Government Websites
2017
In several European countries decentralization has promoted the creation of Regional Governments (RGs) with high levels of competence and responsibilities, such as promoting good governance and sustainability. Information and communication technologies (ICTs), and hence, the adoption of e-government has contributed to the adoption and dissemination of government transparency in a usable and accessible way. In this chapter, we study the transparency, accessibility and usability of websites of Spanish RGs.
