Blended learning offers learning solutions for higher educational institutions facing the industrial revolution 4.0. In this study, we investigated the influence factors student perceptions of blended learning based on gender-specific differences in Indonesia. We applied a research model to systematically assess the effect of design features on the effectiveness of blended learning indicators (intrinsic motivation and student satisfaction). Moreover, we evaluated the research model for both genders separately. Based on the quantitative survey of 223 Indonesian students, our study confirms that the design features significantly influence the effectiveness of blended learning for male and female students.
Positive Computing umfasst Design, Realisierung und Bewertung von Anwendungssystemen und deren Einflüsse mit dem Ziel, Lebensqualität und Wohlbefinden von Menschen zu verbessern und sie bei der Entfaltung ihrer Potenziale zu unterstützen. Das Institut Positive Computing (IPCo) an der Hochschule Ruhr West soll dieses neue Paradigma in einem inter- und transdisziplinären Ansatz erschließen, untersuchen und umsetzen. Das Paradigma ist anwendbar auf nahezu alle Bereiche des privaten und beruflichen Lebens. Die Forschung des IPCo fokussiert zunächst jedoch auf die positive Nutzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) für generationenübergreifende Herausforderungen. Hierzu sollen technologische Lösungen unter kontinuierlicher Einbeziehung menschlicher Bedürfnisse und sozialer Fragestellungen erarbeitet
werden.
Wissensmanagement (WM) und IT-gestütztes Lernen sind gerade in kleinen Behörden der Öffentlichen Verwaltung (ÖV), wie z.B. in ländlichen
Gemeinden, noch ausbaufähig. Am Beispiel des EU-Projekts EAGLE werden
Projektergebnisse als Verbesserungsansätze für ein arbeitsprozessorientiertes, IT-gestütztes Lernen vorgestellt. Neuartige Plattform-Features und ihr ÖV-spezifischer Nutzen werden erläutert. Die Ergebnisse der Plattformvalidierung werden vorgestellt. Ferner werden Vorschläge gemacht, wie die Ergebnisse aus EAGLE mit WM und weiteren Wissensquellen der ÖV, wie z.B. der Registratur, zu einem Gesamtkonzept mit bereits vorhandenen Fortbildungs- und WM-Ansätzen verbunden werden können.
Technologie die beflügelt

Global software development changes the requirements in terms of soft competency and increases the complexity of social interaction by including intercultural aspects. While soft competency is often seen as crucial for the success of global software development projects, the concrete competence requirements remain unknown. Internationalization competency represents one of the first attempts to structure and describe the soft competence requirements for global software developers. Based on the diversity of tasks, competence requirements will differ among the various phases of software development. By conducting a survey on the importance of internationalization competences for the different phases of global software development, we identified differences in terms of competence importance and requirements in the phases. “Adaptability” (of one's working style) and “Cultural Awareness” were the main differences. “Cultural Awareness” distinguishes requirements engineering and software design from testing and implementation while “Adaptability” distinguishes implementation and software design from requirements engineering and testing.
Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four patterns of transformation actors serve as a starting point for organisations in supporting technological choice and strategic interventions, based on individual, group, and organisational behavioural levels. Moreover, five propositions, based on the competing concerns of these challenges, establish a framework for comprehending the ecosystem that enables rapid digital transformation. Strategies, prerequisites, and key factors during the (digital) technology development process benefit the cyber-society ecosystem. As a practical contribution, Q-methodology was used to investigate perspectives on digitalisation challenges during the pandemic.
System design for well-being needs an appropriate tool to help designers to determine relevant requirements that can help human well-being to flourish. Personas come as a simple yet powerful tool in the early development stage of the user interface design. Considering well-being determinants in the early design process provide benefits for both the user and the development team. Therefore, in this short paper, we performed a literature study to provide a conceptual model of well-being in personas and propose positive design interventions in personas’ creation process.
Group-centered framework towards a positive design of digital collaboration in global settings
(2017)
Globally distributed groups require collaborative systems to support their work. Besides being able to support the teamwork, these systems also should promote well-being and maximize the human potential that leads to an engaging system and joyful experience. Designing such system is a significant challenge and requires a thorough understanding of group work. We used the field theory as a lens to view the essential aspects of group motivation and then utilized collaboration personas to analyze the elements of group work. We integrated well-being determinants as engagement factors to develop a group-centered framework for digital collaboration in a global setting. Based on the outcomes, we proposed a conceptual framework to design an engaging collaborative system and recommend system values that can be used to evaluate the system further.
The influence of national culture on knowledge sharing has important implications for all organizations. However, the existing frameworks only cover a subset of relevant factors or limit the research of the framework to either organizational or national level. Hence, a more encompassing framework is needed. The question this articles answers is how does national culture influence knowledge sharing. Based on extensive literature review and interviews carried out in Finland and Japan, this article sets forth a foundation for a new framework. The framework details how national culture influences individual level and organizational level factors and technical tools. Additionally, the framework includes a new dimension, time-dimension, which is usually disregarded in knowledge sharing research. For researchers and practitioners, the derived framework provides key insight on relevant factors on knowledge sharing and national culture. Finally, future research directions are discussed.
