Talkoo : A new paradigm for physical computing at school
- 2016
-
In: Proceedings of IDC2016. - New York, NY, USA : ACM Digital Library. ; , s. 512-517
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introducing physical computing into regular school classes is challenged by constraints of schedules and curricula structures, which do not allow for time-consuming electronics prototyping. We present a novel approach to prototyping with physical computing components with the Arduino-based TALKOO kit: It comprises hardware modules, a visual IDE and prototyping material. Sensor and actuator modules are pluggable and do not require soldering and prior knowledge in electronics. The components have the ability to "talk" back to the visual IDE and to a learning analytics system. A new paradigm for visual programming maps physical modules onto virtual representations on screen making programming more intuitive. The TALKOO kit expands the field of application of physical computing for children in regular school contexts. Preliminary evaluation results show that children were able to build elaborative prototypes within an hour.

Design Strategies for developing a Visual Platform for Physical Computing with Mobile Tools for Project Documentation and Reflection
- 2015

In: Proceedings of the Workshops at the 17th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education AIED 2015, Madrid, Spain, June 22 - 26, 2015. - : CEUR-WS.org. ; , s. 57-62, s. 57-62
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This poster discusses work on the design of a visual-based programming language for physical computing and mobile tools for the learners to actively document and reflect on their projects. These are parts of a European project that is investigating how to generate, analyze, use and provide feedback from analytics derived from hands-on learning activities. Our aim is to raise a discussion about how learning analytics, intelligence, and the role of learners’ documenting their work can provide richer opportunities for supporting learning and teaching.

Kunskapsbaserad teknik för kompetensutveckling i byggsektorn : en forskningsrapport från Sveriges Byggindustrier
- 2017
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Syftet med rapporten är att undersöka kunskapsförsörjningen inom byggsektorn på tre nivåer, gymnasium, yrkeshögskola och universitet/högskola samt en industriell partner. Projektet genomfördes med intervjuer, workshops och enkäter styrda av en grundlig litteraturstudie som tittat på aktuell forskning inom utbildning och pedagogik. Resultaten från projektet visar att lärare och elever/studenter har digitala kompetensen, men det finns utrymme för förbättringar av lärandematerial och processer. Dessutom visar resultaten från industrin ett starkt intresse för bättre utnyttja informationsteknik för kompetensutveckling. Betänkandet pekar på att det krävs fortsatt utveckling för en förbättra utbildning inom byggbranschen.
