Contemporary creativity support tools (CSTs) primarily support divergent thinking, while often neglecting convergent thinking. Currently, research is limited concerning how these complementary aspects of creative thought could be integrated into a unified approach. This article theoretically conceptualizes the integration of artificial intelligence...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained attention as one of the emerging fields in educational technology. The growing body of AI research has focused primarily on technological perspectives and less focus has been given to facilitate the development of AI-driven practices in higher education. In this article, we explore and provide insights togeth...
Conference Paper

This article explores the potential use of artificial intelligence (AI) in graphic design courses in higher education. Qualitative interviews were conducted to evaluate students' learning experiences of using six AI resources for graphic design: Limbiks, ChatGPT, Looka, Pagegenie, Khroma, and DALL-E. The results demonstrate that AI can enhance stud...

Online travel booking has become increasingly popular; however, most travel websites do not yet offer voice interaction. This study introduces VoiceBack, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven voice-based feedback system conceptualized to support both customers and online travel agencies during the booking process. It proposes a theoretically and e...

This study investigates remote voting preferences, the trade-off between vote secrecy and integrity, and vote verification among the Albanian electorate using an online survey. The results show that remote voting through an internet voting system is the preferred option. The findings also reveal the importance of ensuring vote secrecy while priorit...
Chapter
Full-text available
Artikeln diskuterar hur man skulle kunna utforma en design för AI-praktiker i högre utbildning. En utgångspunkt är att lärare vid högskolorna har haft tillgång till hjälpmedel för att identifiera textöverlappning men idag inte har motsvarande tillgång till tjänster som identifierar AI-genererade texter. Författarna ger exempel på sådana tjänster so...
Article
Full-text available
The emergence of augmented reality (AR) and gamification in higher education has gained relevance by virtue of their usefulness in learning spaces. Prior research has examined these technologies separately, but less is known about the impact of combining AR and gamification in the area of web development. This article examined how different educati...
Conference Paper
Designers face challenges when examining and implementing navigational patterns to accommodate smartphone users. While much research has focused on quantifying the effectiveness of menu systems, less attention has been paid to the role of context. This study examined how attitudes toward three menu systems vary across three contexts. The results sh...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This research article crafted, evaluated, and revised a theoretically underpinned design concept with the purpose of enhancing customers' dine-in experiences. The design concept was motivated by the considerable interest in artificial intelligence (AI), voice user interfaces (VUI) within Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and the rapid digitalizatio...

This article draws attention to the need for a structured sociocultural pedagogical model supported by a novel digital education platform to meet the needs of Millennials and Generation Z in higher-education. Societal advances and the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the digital transformation of higher education and shown a need to go beyond exi...
Article
Full-text available
This article explores and proposes a design concept of a co-creative process that aims to support the assessment and grading of theses in design education through automated criteria evaluation. The research is based on a concept-driven design approach that theoretically anchored and empirically informed the design concept. The research was achieved...
Article
The worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is testing societies, companies, and citizens. Life, health, and jobs are at stake. In this critical moment, the HCI community is working together to design, test, and execute ideas, prototypes, and solutions. HCI is working to strengthen our resistance with abilities, expertise, and methods...
Conference Paper
Learning assessment constitutes an essential pedagogical ability in a teacher's toolbox in order to further student learning and development and to adapt teaching to the needs of the students. To enable this, learning outcomes and grading criteria are used in the formative assessment of students' performance to support the learning process, as well...
Article

As information technology continues to evolve rapidly in society, coding skills become increasingly essential to develop. The purpose of this article is to examine differences between the learner-centered and sociocultural approaches when teaching and learning coding in higher education. A quasi-experiment was applied over six academic semesters ev...
Article
Full-text available
The accelerated spread of fake news via the internet and social media such as Facebook and Twitter have created a debate concerning the credibility of sources online. Assessing the credibility of these sources is generally a complex task and cannot solely rely on computer-based algorithms as evaluation still requires human intelligence. The researc...
Conference Paper
Existing research shows that users tend to assess the visual appeal of a web page within 50 ms and color is the first thing that is noticed on a screen. This directly influences the user's perception of a website, and a choice of appealing color combinations may, therefore, be crucial in successful web design. This article aims to identify, formula...
Article
Full-text available
This article elaborates a concept of co-creative media that aims to support citizens’ democratic engagement by facilitating participatory and co-creative processes. The research adopts a concept-driven design approach to theoretically underpin and empirically inform the concept. This was accomplished by adopting theoretical resources from the frame...
Thesis
Full-text available
Internet-based information and communication technology (ICT) have increasingly been used to facilitate and support democratic engagement in society. A growing body of research has demonstrated that the Internet and, in particular, social media have given citizens the opportunity to participate, interact, network, collaborate, and mobilize themselv...

Conference Paper
Full-text available
The purpose of this paper is to reflect on how potential circumventing media and communication technologies could potentially assist the information flow when authoritarian regimes decide to block the main channels, such as the Internet and the mobile phone networks.
