Abstract

We present the initial stages of a project in which we focus on participatory design methods to build information and communication technology support that stimulate knowledge sharing in a group of geographically distributed teachers. Teachers in general spend most of their time in a classroom leaving few opportunities for social encounters and chats with their colleagues. The prototype we are developing focuses on informality and playfulness, that would increase the social communication and thereby the community feeling. In turn, this would ultimately increase learning among the setting members.

Teachers' Expected and Perceived Gains of Participation in Classroom Based Design Activities
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

This paper explores teachers' expected and perceived gains from classroom participation in design projects. The results indicate that teachers hope the experience will be fun for the children, and that it will increase both children's and their own ...
The role of knowledge sharing self-efficacy in sharing Open Educational Resources

Many teachers share OER, however most of them do it infrequently.Most OER shared by teachers have a low complexity (e.g., texts or presentations).Evaluation apprehension does not hinder sharing OER.Knowledge sharing self-efficacy is related to sharing ...
Gamified co-design with cooperative learning
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Co-design is an ideal approach to design with mixed teams that include learners and teachers. However, in modern learning contexts, learning and engagement are both key goals, and that poses several challenges to co-design. This paper investigates such ...
