- Research priorities in immersive learning technology: the perspectives of the iLRN communityPublication . Gaspar, Horácio; Morgado, Leonel; São Mamede, Henrique; Oliveira, Teresa; Fernandez-Manjon, Baltasar; Gütl, ChristianThis paper presents the perspectives of the immersive learning research network community on the relevance of various challenges to the adoption of immersive learning technology, along three dimensions: access, content production, and deployment. Using a previously validated questionnaire, we surveyed this community of 622 researchers and practitioners during the summer of 2018, attaining 54 responses. By ranking the challenges individually and within each dimension, the results point towards higher relevance being placed on aspects that link immersive environments with learning management systems and pedagogical tasks, alongside aspects that empower non-technical users (educational actors) to produce interactive stories, objects, and characters.
- Identifying immersive environments’ most relevant research topics: an instrument to query researchers and practitionersPublication . Gaspar, Horácio; Morgado, Leonel; São Mamede, Henrique; Manjón, Baltasar; Gütl, ChristianThis paper provides an instrument for ascertaining researchers’ perspectives on the relative relevance of technological challenges facing immersive environments in view of their adoption in learning contexts, along three dimensions: access, content production, and deployment. It described its theoretical grounding and expert-review process, from a set of previously-identified challenges and expert feedback cycles. The paper details the motivation, setup, and methods employed, as well as the issues detected in the cycles and how they were addressed while developing the instrument. As a research instrument, it aims to be employed across diverse communities of research and practice, helping direct research efforts and hence contribute to wider use of immersive environments in learning, and possibly contribute towards the development of news and more adequate systems.
- Iniciativas de mHealth em PortugalPublication . Duque, Cláudia; São Mamede, Henrique; Morgado, LeonelO paradigma da prestação de cuidados de saúde está lentamente a alinhar-se com as necessidades e hábitos do paciente moderno. A computação móvel pode ser uma solução para responder à crescente tendência e necessidade para a partilha e colaboração de cuidados de saúde, possibilitando o redesenhar de processos e dando origem a novos modelos de prestação de cuidados de saúde. Para conhecer a situação em Portugal das iniciativas de computação móvel neste setor (mobile health) e o seu estado de implementação, seguimos a metodologia de Levac et al. para realizar um levantamento, através de um inquérito e de um estudo exploratório, cujos resultados ficaram espelhados numa matriz desenvolvida para o efeito. O mapeamento do estudo visa sumariar o conhecimento adquirido, num formato acessível e resumido para que decisores políticos, profissionais e consumidores possam fazer uso efetivo das conclusões.
