Abstract: Ud fra aktionsforskning af faget Informationsbehandling på bachelorprogrammet HA/DØK ved Copenhagen Business School undersøger vi i denne artikel hvilke barriere de studerende oplever i forbindelse med læring af holistisk systemudvikling og hvorfor. Siden 1980’erne har man i (dele af) litteraturen anset den ’gode’ systemudvikler for at være en, der kunne fungere som brobygger mellem brugere og programmører og navigere ubesværet inden for og imellem anvendelses- og problemområdet (dvs. mellem brugernes og IT systemets område og opgaver). HA/DØK uddannelsen blev udviklet for at uddanne studerende med brobyggerkompetencer. En summativ kvalitetsvurdering har dog vist, at der eksisterer et misforhold mellem den uddannelsesmæssige intention og de studerendes faktiske læring og eksamenspræstationer på faget Informationsbehandling. Vores undersøgelse af dette misforhold viser, at mens de studerende er gode til at tænke og handle udfra problemområdet,så kæmper alle studerende uanset fagligt niveau med at nå de læringsmål, der omhandler forståelse for og inddragelse af viden om anvendelsesområdet. Vi foreslår, at de studerendes vanskeligheder skyldes, at de pga. HA/DØK studiet tilrettelæggelse allerede er proficiente funktionalister når de starter på Informationsbehandling, mens de i forhold til anvendelsesområdet må betegnes som novicer. Vi opridser forskellige alternativer til at hjælpe de studerende med at overvinde barriererne og/eller opfylde læringsmålene. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6500 Files in this item: 1

A case study on collaboration with clients, in community interaction and learning designØrngreen, Rikke N.; Nielsen, Janni; Levinsen, Karin (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Abstract In this paper the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Research Group reports on the pre-phase of an e-learning project, which was carried out in collaboration with the client. The project involved an initial exploration of the problem spaces, possibilities and challenges for an online accredited Continued Medical Education (CME) programme at the Lundbeck Institute. The CME programme aims at end-users, which are primarily general practitioners, but also specialists (psychiatrist and psychologists), from all over the world. The assumption was that it would be possible to identify and build on resources and competencies already existing in the client organisation. We asked: What is it we know? Uncovering the prerequisites and background of and with the client allowed us concurrently to identify: What do we not know? Working iteratively in collaboration with the client, allowed us to build on existing resources and networks, suggesting a design, which also included end-users community needs and work-context. Our argument is that if a preparation phase both seeks to confirm knowledge and contemplate what is not yet known, giving attention to the context and need of the client (i.e. not only end-users,) then it is possible to build on existing resources within the client organisation, leading to grounding of design decisions and a match between the e-learning environment designed and the capabilities of the client.

Designing for the "cultural other"Nielsen, Janni; Yssing, Carsten; Levinsen, Karin; Clemmensen, Torkil; Ørngreen, Rikke; Nielsen, Lene (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Differences in cultural contexts constitute differences in cognition, and research has shown that different cultures may use different cognitive tools for perception and reasoning. The cultural embeddings are significant in relation to HCI, because the cultural context is also embedded in the techniques and the tools that we apply. We lack a framework for discussing what and who we are, when we talk about a person as the user of an ICT system that has to be designed, developed and implemented. As a framework, we suggest a theory of complementary positions that insists on solid accounts from all observer posi-tions in relation to perspective, standpoint and focus. We need to develop com-plementary theories that embed complexity, and we need to reflect critically upon forty years of dominance by rationalistic, empirical understandings of the user as illustrated in the literature and practice within the HCI paradigm in system development.

An HCI Study with the Lundbeck InstituteØrngreen, Rikke N.; Nielsen, Janni; Levinsen, Karin; Stanley Christensen, Elise; Mortensen, Ole E. (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper presents the first results of a close collaboration between the HCI-Research Group, at the Department of Informatics, CBS and the Lundbeck Institute.This report contains the resulting descriptions of analyses, investigations and evaluations carried out in the pre-phase. The working paper is written considering both the current and future context of the Lundbeck Institute and what we (in the HCI Research Group) know and need to know more about with respect to the future users of the e-learning activities. Another of our concern has been to investigate the Lundbeck Institute current activities and raise questions that the Institute needs to consider when contemplating a relatively large e-learning project. However, we find that the concepts investigated and the processes we have been through have a general relevance. We are thus grateful to the Lundbeck Institute for allowing publication of these pre-phase results. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6450 Files in this item: 1
