“…The instructional topic for the purpose of the pilot study was mobile commerce. This topic included two research papers, which we arranged in the following sequence: 1) "Designing Mobile Business Applications for Different Age Groups" (Gurtner, Reinhardt, & Soyez, 2014) and 2) "Explain the Intention to Use Smartphones for Mobile Shopping" (Agrebi & Jallais, 2015). We covered each paper during a two-week online discussion period.…”

Abstract:In this design science research paper, we report on our constructing and evaluating an attention-guidance system that we integrated into a computer-supported collaborative learning system. Drawing on social constructivist literature, our proposed design focuses on attracting, retaining, and, if necessary, reacquiring users' attention on task-relevant information in online collaborative literature processing. The investigation involved an experiment across two sections of students in a human-computer interaction course. Results show that the new design allowed users to consistently reflect and evaluate the content of a text as they capitalized on one another's reasoning to resolve misconceptions. Moreover, we found that the new system increased users' perceptions of learning. However, the difference in knowledge gain scores was marginally significant and represented a medium effect size. Interestingly, we found that the attention-guidance system supported more efficient learning. Finally, we discovered that task-oriented reading of text, revisions of incomplete or incorrect ideas, and perceptions of learning mediated the relationship between software system and learning efficiency. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications.

“…In its original and extended forms, the UTAUT has had a significant influence on academic scholarship examining information systems and computer software (Marchewka et al 2007), mobile telephony and smart applications (Gurtner et al 2014;Park et al 2007), collaborative technology and networks (Lin et al 2008), health information and healthcare (Kijsanayotin et al 2009;Holden et al 2010), education and learning (Chiu et al 2008), internet practices and online banking (Martins et al 2014;Zhou et al 2010), and even tourism (Martin et al 2012;EscobarElectric Mobility 20 Rodríguez et al 2014). Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have also tended to affirm the theory's explanatory power (Lee et al 2003;Legris et al 2003;King et al 2006;Bagozzi 2007).…”

I expand and integrate a theory of mobility (Automobility) with one of science and technology (Actor Network Theory) and one about social acceptance and user adoption (UTAUT).I apply this integrative framework to the diffusion (and non-diffusion) of electric vehicles and the process of electric mobility. I begin by presenting my methods, namely semi-structured qualitative research interviews with social theorists. Then, I present the three theories deemed most relevant by respondents. Automobility holds that, on a cultural or social level, automobiles exist as part of a complex, one that involves hardware and infrastructure-a hybridity between drivers and machines-along with patterns of identity and attitudes about driving pleasure. Actor Network Theory (ANT) involves the concepts of network assemblage, translation, enrollment, and actants and lieutenants. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, or UTAUT, states that on an individual level, the adoption of new technologies will be predicated on interconnected factors such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and other facilitating conditions.Based largely on the original interview data supplemented with peer-reviewed studies, I propose a conceptual framework of user acceptance consisting of motile pleasure, sociality, sociotechnical commensurability, and habitual momentum. I conclude with implications for research and policy.

“…As the young elderly represent up to 23% of the consumer market in most EU countries it appears that some strategic mistakes were made. Studies of the use of mobile phones and services among the older adults start to appear [11], [12]. Several studies in the UK [12] show that older adults (over 50 years of age) use mobile phones significantly less than younger people; the older adults use them for maintaining and developing social relationships and for health and security services.…”

The ageing population of Europe is a concern for political decision makers and visions on how to deal with the issues are being debated. The issues raised concern elderly people, the age group 75-90 years, but not much thought is given the young elderly-the age groups 60-75 years-as the serious age-related problems are not visible among them. Nevertheless, pro-active preventive action programs among the young elderly could significantly reduce the problems society faces when people become elderly. We will address the issues with the ageing population from the perspective of digital wellness services that are designed, produced and offered over omnivore platforms on smart mobile phones and backed up by analytics tools over cloud services. The aim is to keep the young elderly healthy, active and independent when they reach the 75+ age group. In this research the digital wellness services are proposed as effective interventions to build wellness routines. The design of wellness services need to be done through co-creation with the young elderly, not for them.
