Previous research has identified a well-established link between teachers' beliefs and the practical implications of technology-enhanced learning (TEL). Until recently, there have been few studies of teachers' beliefs regarding their own role as developers of TEL in higher education. In this study, 18 university teachers' reflective writings on the...

A classroom with a blackboard and some rows of desks is obsolete in special education. Depending on the needs, some students may need more tactile and inspiring surroundings with various pedagogical accessories while others benefit from a simplified environment without unnecessary stimuli. This understanding is applied to a new Finnish special educ...

Value-based system for pedagogical space management in open and adaptable learning and working environment (ONESPACE-project)

This paper reviews research literature on the production and commercialization of IT-enabled higher education in computer science. Systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out in order to find out to what extent this area has been studied, more specifically how much it has been studied and to what detail. The results of this paper make a cont...

The majority of current human-computer interaction studies dealing with visual elements in user interfaces have focused on colour, but the definitions of colours have not gained much attention. In order to enhance the inner validity of the research area it is necessary to clarify the definitions in relation to colour theories. In our study we analy...

Interactive multiobjective optimization (IMO) is a subfield of multiple criteria decision making. In multiobjective optimization, the optimization problem is formulated with a mathematical model containing several conflicting objectives and constraints depending on decision variables. By using IMO methods, a decision maker progressively provides pr...

Social exclusion of young people is a major socio-economic challenge all over Europe. This paper discusses the development and use of ICT applications to tackle the problem.

Various new approaches of ethnographic research have been developed for inquiries in online settings. However, it is not clear whether these approaches are similar, different from each other, and if they can be used to study the same phenomena. In this chapter, the authors compare different suggested methodological approaches for conducting ethnogr...

Lurking is currently regarded as a notable e-learning strategy due to its frequency as a member strategy in online communities. Perspectives to lurking in e-learning vary in terms of activity, passivity, participation and contribution in relation to learning efficiency and outcomes. To enhance the notion of lurking as e-learning, a suitable researc...

In this position paper I discuss a research agenda for studying security issues particularly related to secondary and high schools. I argue that despite of its topicality and significance to successful functioning of schools, the issue of information technology (IT) and security in schools is not getting enough research input. In the educational en...

An important challenge for interaction designers is to understand factors that shape user experience, and novel approaches are being developed to establish user experience as a particular field of research. The previous attempts to provide a comprehensive theory of user experience have been focused on analyzing sensations and emotions as well as pe...

The chapter looks at emerging approaches in human-computer interaction design which are likely to contribute to the discipline in the near future.

Everyday human-technology interaction is often problematic because the performance capacities that underlie the technologies change frequently, and new ones are introduced. Emerging technologies and services are compelling the interaction community to constantly develop new innovative approaches to solve interaction problems. As a result, interacti...

This paper introduces results from an empirical study on different stakeholders’ views on enterprise architecture development within Finnish state government. The data is...

During the past few years, mobile technologies have become common in everyday life. Almost everyone carry some kind of mobile technological equipment with him or her, for example a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a multimedia player, such as an iPod, or a laptop computer. The use of these equipments is not limited only to workplac...

This article describes a study clarifying information systems (IS) designers’ conceptions of human users of IS by drawing on in-depth interviews with 20 designers. The designers’ lived experiences in their work build up a continuum of levels of thought from more limited conceptions to more comprehensive ones reflecting variations of the designers’...

We argue that for CRM to be successful a CRM system should be implemented and used in such a way that the users – in our research the salespeople – are empowered, motivated, committed, and willing to utilize the CRM system for knowledge management. In successful CRM culture salespeople gather and store essential information from crucial interaction...

Human-centred views on information systems are gaining more and more attention in IS community. The need to evaluate information systems from such a perspective is thus evident. In this paper, we exploit our earlier developed theoretical framework for evaluating end-user support in information systems, and demonstrate its usage in validating the us...

This paper introduces a fundamental characteristic of digital culture goods, transmutability, which has not previously been studied in IS research as a driver of value. Transmutability refers to the fact that digital files of culture goods such as music ...

When mobile technology is utilized successfully in computer supported collaborative learning, it can engender students' feelings of belonging to a safe virtual community, which helps to construct shared knowledge through collaboration and applying information and experiences received from others. In this paper, our main argument is that collaborati...

The forecast advent of ubiquitous computing promises to bring about a radical shift in our way of interacting with computing systems. It is expected that people will interact continuously with computation, in an ever-increasing range of forms, situations and locations. Current user-centred design methodology is severely stretched when applied to th...

Numerous methods, methodologies, approaches, techniques and tools have been developed over the years to ensure successful accomplishment of information system development (ISD) projects in terms of user satisfaction. However, different methodologies and approaches perceive the user differently; sometimes the user is seen as an anonymous 'object' th...

The book provides diverse views on virtual realities with respect to the gender-related meanings they evoke. The analyses incorporated into this multidisciplinary compilation reveal how gender-related social order is created in virtual reality. This view is seen as the starting point for discussions, understandings and explorations of how the creat...

Identity construction in computer-mediated environments as in "real life" environments is influenced by existent social processes. In these virtual environments the computer screen mediates specific experiences of localised physicality; however these computer-mediated experiences do not alter the overall sense of being for the individual.

This paper describes the qualitatively different views of users that Finnish IS designers have. This view is a basis for the IS-user relationship. A method of empirical research for investigating human beings' views of the surrounding world, phenomenography, is presented. The preliminary results of the analysis indicate that IS designers tend to gi...

The application of IT to marketing through customer relationship management (CRM) software is growing rapidly, but the probabilities of failure remain high. We argue that research in CRM success should focus more on human-centered issues. In this study we introduce a conceptual framework for a holistic view of humans in CRM and apply the framework...
