Facing Climate Change Challenges through Sustainable City Co-creation
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- To alleviate problems generated by climate change, cities cannot act alone but need to collaborate with multiple stakeholders including industry, non-profit sector, academia and, not the least, citizens whose behavior can make an impact on the territory. The aim of this paper is to enlighten how the city can engage stakeholders – especially citizens – in decision making processes of sustainable urban development. While organizations can have financial or other interests to engage with sustainable urban development which entails (re)building processes able to affect the mobility and livability of cities, citizens might not see an immediate need to participate in the making and re-making of the city, neglecting their potential contribution to intergenerational equity. While rebuilding cities, it becomes paramount to think of how it can become an attractive place where people want to live, work and visit. City managers and decision makers seek ways to enable citizens’ attachment to the sustainable development plans at stake. Pursuing sustainable development requires the management of financial constraints as well as considerations of environmental and social issues. By adopting a case study approach with empirical focus on the Näsby district of Kristianstad City (Scania Region, South of Sweden), we investigate how a mid-sized city experiments with citizen engagement initiatives in the spirit of co-creation. The results show that simultaneously pursuing attractiveness and attachment, what we call attra-chment, requires both regulated and spontaneous initiatives to foster continued co-creation

Co-Operative Method Development revisited
- 2005
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the last five years, we applied a research approach we call 'Co-operative Method Development' formulated on first experience with empirical research focusing especially on the social side of software engineering. This position paper summarizes the experiences and discusses the improvement and further development of this research approach based on our experiences in different research projects in co-operation with industrial partners.

Talking Design : Co-Construction and Use of Representations in Software Development
- 1999
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Software development differs from other design work insofar as the object to be designed is not visible. Representations play an important role. Even as they only describe aspects of the later software, they mediate the common design work. Software engineering literature focuses on persistent representations, documents, diagrams, mock-ups, or similar things. Our article puts 'talking design', where the software is represented in utterances, sounds, and enactment, in the centre. With the help of concepts from the CSCW discourse, we conceptualise what is happening here; the collaborative object for the design talk is not given, it has to be collectively constructed. Software development can be regarded as routine co-construction. In our case the protocol of that design meeting seemed to serve as a reminder for the participants rather than as in itself representing the design decided upon. The design meeting, we focus in this article, was part of a distributed software development project, with a larger project situated in Ronneby, Sweden and a smaller one in Oulu, Finland. If important parts of design are collectively constructed during such meetings, what does that imply for co-operation, co-ordination and division of labour in software development projects? How can a common practice be developed among distributed work groups?

Artificial intelligence practices in higher education using Bloom's digital taxonomy
- 2024
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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 together with practical examples into how AI through flexible adaptation could be integrated as practices in higher education using Bloom’s digital taxonomy as an educational model. The resulting operationalization is presented in the form of six practices that provide a basis for discussing how AI-powered innovations can be used in higher education.

Sociocultural pedagogy and digital transformation of higher education beyond the COVID-19 pandemic
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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 existing teacher- and learner-centered approaches to supplement face-to-face instruction. Developing a structured sociocultural pedagogical model supported by a novel digital education platform has the potential to strengthen the cooperation and mobility of educators and learners in higher education.

Commitment as an Underlying Principle for Learning
- 2004
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The prevailingmodel of software development on which most educational programs are based is in conflict with general practice in industry. As following paper demonstrates Software Engineering education lacks an approach to teach the skills needed to master coalitions of existing recourses that are hard to control. In order to prepare students to handle unpredictable, non-technical and moving targets, an adequate curriculum is needed. Since 1990 software engineering education at Blekinge Institute of Technology has used commitment as the underlying principle for learning. This principle has made it possible to address the discrepancies between education and industry. This paper describes and evaluates our experience of using six elements of commitment in the education of software engineers.
