“…The overall visual appearance of the artefacts in this project was inspired by the researcher's archive (Figure 7). Huang et al (2020) clarify the qualities of a personal archive as having three connotations of self-expression, self-memory and self-construction. They state that a personal archive is an abbreviation of a particular life trajectory in a person's life and contains information for people to understand the individual.…”

This article presents a practice-led artistic research project that asks: How to represent an international Chinese student’s sense of belonging (or not belonging) through the aesthetics of visual poetry? The project looked into concrete poetry as a visual strategy to develop a design outcome consisting of two publications using an experimental typographic layout and two corresponding posters. This research employs autoethnography and heuristic inquiry as a methodological approach to the creative process to achieve high levels of originality. Based on personal experience, this research project explores the lack of sense of belonging faced by a Chinese student in an unfamiliar place when initially studying in Aotearoa New Zealand. In a design response to this temporary loss of belonging, the project investigated profiled individuals to analyse two specific negative emotions: restless and lonely. In addition, the study applies poetic writing to self-narrative to enhance the potential of personal expression, metaphorically telling stories while creating a visual typographic artefact that breaks with the traditional written prose form. The project is a retrospective of the self, graphically articulating two unforgettable emotions arising from two of the most profound periods affecting the researcher. On the one hand, the project takes a further step towards self-understanding and helps the viewer understand the issues of belonging experienced by Chinese students in a foreign country. On the other hand, it contributes to the discussion of autoethnography and heuristic inquiry to achieve originality in graphic design.

“…Furthermore, grounded theory is suitable because the research data are based on relevant prior theory, literature and insights of professional experiences which serve as a reference for understanding the verified generic concepts (Corbin and Strauss, 2015). Following the approach used in a similar study, exploratory research design provides flexibility to conduct future exploration with limited available information; as in this case, there is little research available on the stakeholder's perception of PropTech adoption in the Indian CRE market (Huang et al , 2021).…”

“…The research data for the study were collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with 18 property management professionals working as top executives, chief technical officers, information researchers, engineers, facilities management workers, different workers of technology firms and commercial realty firms of different sizes. Corbin and Strauss (2015), Huang et al (2021) and Saldaña (2013) recommended the use of a smaller sample size (3–5 interviewees) in an exploratory study to explore the research question with in-depth expert interviews for conclusive studies, which may not follow a rigorous methodology. Therefore, this research rests on 18 face-to-face semi-structured in-depth expert interviews.…”

“…These companies were selected based on their number of employees, main business associated with commercial property management services and investment in technological advances. Purposive selection increases the chances of capturing valid in-depth insights (Huang et al , 2021). Interviewees were selected for their expertise either in implementing or adopting the PropTech services in the management of their company property.…”

PurposeProperty management in commercial real estate (CRE) is an important operational function that needs to be managed because it brings large cost implications to the organization. As India aspires to become a developed real estate market, analysis of the growing importance of automating property services and technology acceptance by stakeholders are two key concerns that need to be explicitly addressed. This study aims to examine the extent of property technology (PropTech) adoption in India and propose a technology-enabled stakeholder management model in Indian CRE.Design/methodology/approachThe research is qualitative in nature and follows the grounded theory approach. Research data were collected by conducting a series of semi-structured interviews with 18 property management professionals from different prominent Indian companies using PropTech.FindingsThe findings suggested the nine most typical automated property management functions in Indian CRE. The result of this research is the automated property services model for stakeholder management in CRE. The model demonstrates the value of implementing technology in property services in India.Practical implicationsThe study provides useful insights into how artificial intelligence (AI) in property management can be applied to address property-related challenges, various stakeholder needs and improve property performance in accordance with energy efficiency policies.Originality/valueThis paper attempts to add to the limited body of literature on technology in the property management domain. The model demonstrates how automated property services meet the needs of different stakeholders in CRE and provides remote working procedures within the COVID-19 pandemic context.

“…The basic research logic of grounded theory involves collecting data through in-depth research on natural situations, comparing data with data continuously, summarizing concepts and categories from data through abstract and conceptual thinking and analysis, and building theories on this basis. The operating procedures of grounded theory generally comprise (Sun, 2011;Huang and Nie, 2021;Khan et al, 2022): (1) generating concepts from data and logging the data step by step;…”

Many factors affect the teaching of massively open online courses (MOOCs). In this study, to explore the factors that influence the effective teaching of MOOCs, a large number of relevant studies are analyzed. Based on grounded theory, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 students and teachers who used MOOCs for online teaching. The interview data were subjected to four research processes –open coding, axial coding, selective coding, and saturation testing– to explore the factors influencing MOOCs’ effective teaching and the interactions between them. The results demonstrate that: (1) Effective teachers, effective tuition, effective communication, active online learning, social support guarantees, and online course design have important positive effects on effective teaching, while only certain online learning behaviors will seriously affect the teaching effectiveness of MOOC, resulting in negative effects. (2) Effective communication is essential for effective teaching in MOOCs; effective teachers are the leading factor, thus teachers should take the initiative to study and understand the students to understand their various learning needs and difficulties. (3) Reasonable and effective classroom teaching design is key to improving MOOCs’ teaching efficiency. (4) E-learning is respected, cared for, and valued by society, including cognition, emotion, and learning platform support from family, school, teachers, and classmates, and has an important impact on students’ motivation and the effects of online learning. The results of this study further clarify factors influencing effective teaching of MOOCs, thus helping to enrich and supplement the theory of effective teaching and evaluation and providing theoretical guidance for teachers to effectively implement MOOC teaching.
