“…As Bucciarelli (2002) argues, in design it can be as much about developing a shared understanding as it is a matter of generating concepts, costing and sizing. The aim of working collaboratively may, in fact, be to gain insight and to learn, rather than to produce a solution to a specific problem (Feast, 2012).…”

University programs are currently faced with a number of challenges: how to engage students as active learners, how to ensure graduates are 'work ready' with broad and relevant professional skills, and how to support students to see their potential as agents of social change and contributors to social good. This paper presents the findings from a study that explored the impact of an authentic, interdisciplinary project with health, architecture and landscape students. This project facilitated students' entrée into the lived experience of women and children requiring refuge services as a result of homelessness and/or domestic violence. Students collaborated with stakeholders from the refuge sector, visiting sites, undertaking individual research, exchanging ideas and problem-solving, to develop a design guide for a women's refuge. Focus groups were conducted at the conclusion of the activity to gauge students' perceptions of the value of the activity. Results indicated that the 'hands-on' and collaborative nature of the learning experience in a real-world context was valued, primarily due to its direct relevance to professional practice. Architecture and landscape participants reported an increase in their understanding and knowledge of refuge clients, and many expressed a commitment to further learning and contribution to the sector. Nursing students felt that the authentic learning experience helped prepare them for the 'real world' of practice and that it aided development of their professional identities and capacity to effect real-world change. The learning activity had a positive impact on knowledge acquisition and students' confidence to act as agents of social change.

“…In final phase, the findings of two previous phases were combined to redefine and provide a final definition of the concept. Based on our integrative literature review, mutual benefits include a range of mutual interests, goals, and expectations between the two partner institutions that can be achieved through shared resources and capabilities of them which cannot be achieved on their own [2,20,[25][26][27]. By considering this data and also context-based experience of participants in this study, final definition for mutual benefits in partnership programs between nursing school and teaching hospitals was as follows: achievement the synergy in the training and empowerment of staff, the dynamics of nursing in science and practice, and the production and application of useful knowledge in performance.…”

Background: The first step for the establishment of academic-service partnership programs is identification of mutual benefits. The rate of achievement of these benefits reflects the success rate of the partnership program. This study aimed to develop an achieving mutual benefits scale in nursing academic-service partnership programs. Method: The AMBS was developed based on an analysis of the concept of mutual benefits in nursing academic-service partnership programs by the hybrid model approach. Findings of the concept analysis study was used to produce items pool. Then, the psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated using face, content and construct validities, and internal consistency, and stability for reliability. Results: The AMBS consists of 44 items. Exploratory factors analysis supported six factor with an explained variance of 59.06%. The Cronbach’s α, and Omega coefficient of the scale respectively ranged from 0.77 to 0.93, and 0.75 to 0.9. The content validity index of 0.97, and internal consistency of 0.76 were obtained for the final scale. Conclusions: The AMBS is a valid and reliable scale for the measurement of the mutual benefits achievement rate in nursing academic-service partnership programs in six dimensions of research synergy, managers' synergy in the student education, development of nursing services, reducing the theory-practice gap, and access to the supportive learning environment. It is necessary to consider all dimensions in organizing these programs and assessing the success rate of them.

“…shareholders over stakeholders ' (2011, 220). Accordingly, Feast (2012) argues that designers should exploit and take avail of the knowledge of different stakeholders in order to develop a broader and shared knowledge, enabling organisations to become better prepared at dealing with society's wicked-problems.…”

Heuristic for brand artefacts co-design: a computer-mediated proposal

Brands undeniably constitute a significant asset for a company and are usually specified in its organisational strategy. Typically, employees are not invited to participate in debates or decisions about branding since they access brand information in a unidirectional way. Many of them do not even know how to convey appropriate messages and fail to recognize the importance of brand consistency. In this paper we propose a heuristic for an interaction structure aimed at brand artefact co-design, through a computer-mediated platform, so that employees may learn about the brand, develop brand knowledge, propose meaningful brand artefacts and manage the evaluation of their peers' proposals. We prepared a non-functional prototype of a Participatory Brand Centre and tested it in focus group sessions with the University of Aveiro's employees. We found that though our proposal is consistent with employees' brand-related needs, authorship is a sensitive issue.
