- In this paper findings are presented from a study on how sensor equipped computer game technologies can be used to create tools for educational settings to learn about for example concepts in physics. In a workshop focusing on the concept of gravity, a group of children interacted with an environment consisting of both physical and digital interactive components. We discuss how the mixed digital and physical setting affects the children's coordination and collaboration and their strategies to solve the given assignment. Findings suggest that the embodied nature of the technology create new opportunities for collaboration and that the alignment of the physical and digital parts of the interactive setting is important in order to create a seamless experience that takes advantage of the properties of the respective media.

Assessment criteria for interaction design projects : Fostering professional perspectives on the design process
- 2010

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Quite often the product of design is assessed in interaction design education, but we need to develop criteria also for courses that focus on learning to conduct and manage the design process. An earlier approach to set grading criteria has been grounded in the SOLO (Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome) taxonomy. Students need, however, to learn practitioners' criteria, rather than teachers' criteria, to make a successful transfer to practice. One way of achieving that is to align criteria with the conceptions of design process quality used by professional interaction designers. The question is then what those conceptions are, and how they can be accounted for in assessment criteria for projects in interaction design education. A phenomenographic research method was used, and interviews were conducted with ten experienced interaction designers. The interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The results show that professional interaction designers see design process quality as inspiration, a well-grounded rationale, employment of established methods, and constraints management. These conceptions are mapped to a criteria-referenced grading scale. The criteria should, with careful transfer, be applicable also in other design disciplines.

Interaction design qualities : Theory and practice
- 2010

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports the results of an action research project investigating the articulation of interaction design qualities for a web portal for urban planning and development. A framework for analyzing interaction design qualities is presented. The framework consists of the practical, the social, the aesthetic, the structural and the ethical quality dimensions, and it was tried out in practice with developers and designers of the portal. This provided experiences used to revise the framework. The results indicate that the framework can be improved by splitting the social quality dimension into a communicational dimension and an organizational dimension. The structural dimension is also renamed to the technical dimension.

Philosophy with children : moral argumentation and the role of pictures
- 2011

Ingår i: Educating for complex thinking through philosophical inquiry. - Padova : Liguori. ; , s. 12 s.-

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to outline the disposition and results of a short-time pilot study (Backman, 2009) of pupils’ ability to express ethical arguments and of the role of pictures in ethical argumentation. There were 18 pupils, in the ages 7-8 years, that participated in the study, which was carried out in a school in the northern part of Sweden. In this paper, we begin by giving a short description of some relevant statements in the Swedish national curriculum and put this in relation to some previous research on philosophical inquiry with children. Then we continue by describing some of the project’s influences from philosophical practice and theoretical groundwork. After this, some methodological concerns and ethical considerations are referred. Finally, some results of the study are described and shortly discussed.

Technologies and social learning in an urban after-school center

Ingår i: Proceedings of the 2011 ACM annual conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Extended Abstracts. - New York : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450302685 ; , s. 273-282

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we explore this relationship between social learning environments and the technological ecologies that practitioners, learners, and researchers develop to sustain them. Through an examination of ethnographic research conducted at an urban after-school learning program we gain insight into social, technological and power infrastructures that influence learning and interaction in this setting. Adopting a holistic approach we examine how technologies are integrated into activities in this program to support the learning of the after-school youth. We emphasize both positive and negative infrastructures that contribute to the learning environment and discuss how identifying these infrastructures are one of the first steps towards understanding and informing technology design in informal learning settings.

Constructing the Image of the Fan : The World Cup 2010
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Images of fans have a central place in the media construction of mega-sport events. In this paper we examine this phenomenon, drawing on fieldwork carried out during the football World Cup 2010. The study is part of a project investigating how local and transnational events are mediated through large format screens in public space, and including the public’s media practices. Here we trace fans’ performance of identity in several of the public viewing areas (PVAs) established for the World Cup. First we look at the identities that are negotiated and expressed within PVAs. In what ways are local, national and regional identities mixed and recast within the context of the event? Then we turn to the media flow, where we find that the screen content in each venue must be understood both in terms of broadcasting and narrowcasting, and address the questions: How do professional media report in and from the fan parks? Finally, how do these reports relate to coverage from the stadiums? Despite visual similarities and reciprocity between the performance of fandom in PVAs and the image of the fan that is broadcast transnationally, the images serve different functions in these different venues.
