COVID-19 influenced peoples lives enormously and its impact was also seen in physical activity and exercising. This mixed methods intervention study highlights some of the impact the pandemic had on the physical activity and exercising behaviors of 10 Japanese information systems employees and students. This study also focuses on the influence that using sport and wellness technology digital coaching had on peoples’ physical activity, exercise motivation and exercise self-efficacy during the pandemic. Based on the findings digital coaching can have motivational elements to support people towards a more physically active lifestyle for example by making users more aware of their own physical activity. However, digital coaching is not enough if users do not have initial motivation which may be understandable in the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings highlight that digital coaching could be further developed to better support its users. This study and the results bring insight for digital coaching developers and users as well as people working in health care field.

While the uptake of AI and ML has been rising in recent years, SMEs still face various adoption challenges. In contrast to large enterprises, SMEs struggle to adopt AI as already the identification of suitable AI use cases requires substantial technical expertise. At the same time, productivity tools like AutoML promise easy access to AI capabilities to non-experts. This research-in-progress aims to investigate how AutoML tools can be utilised to facilitate the adoption of AI in SMEs. In a focus group with 11 representatives from SMEs, we identified and discussed potential AutoML use cases in detail. Results show that the identification of potential use cases rarely focused on existing and available data but rather repeated known use cases and success stories from large enterprises. We argue that a paradigm shift towards a data-centric approach would be beneficial to exhaust the capabilities of AutoML for SMEs.
虽然近年来人工智能和 ML 的使用率不断上升，但中小企业在采用人工智能和 ML 时仍面临各种挑战。与大型企业相比，中小企业在采用人工智能方面举步维艰，因为确定合适的人工智能用例需要大量的专业技术知识。与此同时，像 AutoML 这样的生产力工具却能让非专业人员轻松获得人工智能能力。这项正在进行的研究旨在探讨如何利用 AutoML 工具来促进中小型企业采用人工智能。在一个有 11 位中小企业代表参加的焦点小组中，我们详细确定并讨论了 AutoML 的潜在用例。结果显示，潜在用例的确定很少关注现有可用数据，而是重复大型企业的已知用例和成功案例。我们认为，向以数据为中心的方法进行范式转变将有利于为中小型企业穷尽 AutoML 的功能。

Digitalization in the maritime industry has been suggested as means to achieve safe, economically, and environmentally sound marine traffic. Despite the increasing adoption of digital services and technology in the maritime industry in Finland, the number of accidents has not reduced significantly. This research article aims to explore the potential for improving waterway safety in Finland. The study analyzes waterway accident data to identify the user group most in need of safety improvements and proposes targeted safety measures better tailored to recreational boaters. The study suggests enhancing the physical infrastructure and related digital services of sea areas to provide better coordinated traffic at sea and situational awareness among seafarers, including non-professional seafarers. Finally, a roadmap for implementing these safety measures will be developed. The research provides a comprehensive framework for improving waterway safety in Finland, reducing accidents, and fatalities.

Drawing on the task-technology fit framework, this study examines the antecedents and consequences of technostress students face in an online/blended-learning environment. The effect of task, technology, and individual students' characteristics was hypothesized as predictors of technostress. The impact of technostress was also examined on students' satisfaction with online learning and expected performance. Preliminary findings based on a sample of 261 university students suggest that tasks requiring interdependence and cooperative learning caused higher technostress, while technology characteristics such as perceived ease of use and usefulness negatively effect technostress. Students' conscientiousness positively affect perceptions of technostress. Unlike previous research, which examined a few antecedents of technostress, this study provides a more nuanced understanding of the causes of technostress in an online higher educational context.

Healthcare is in crisis. On the one hand, the population is ageing, on the other hand, we are faced with a lack of resources: human, spatial and financial. That means that we have to make the health system more efficient. During a period of treatment, patients come into contact with a variety of health providers at different levels of the health system. That leads to the gaps between different instances of treatment. According to experiences in other fields, such as industry, a process-oriented view of health treatment could be one of the components of a successful solution. We wonder: How does viewing the medical treatment a patient receives throughout their life as a process affect the gaps between different instances of treatment?

Smart cities are no longer based only on technologies because it is their citizens who significantly influence the development. Lack of motivation plays a major role in the area of bottom-up participation. The digital transformation is creating new opportunities to support people in their participation process and increase motivation. Through the use of artificial intelligence, systems such as virtual companions can be improved further to create a valuable relationship between the human and the machine by incorporating interpersonal elements. A virtual companion that supports people in their participation process could be a solution to motivate people to participate. To provide a basis for deriving design knowledge for a Participation Companion this research starts by identifying the stakeholders’ needs and problems based on literature reviews and interviews. It then follows an iterative, user centered prototype development and evaluation.

Lifelong vocational learning in a digital context frequently falters due to a lack of motivation, structure, time management, and attention to adult students’ work-life balance. In remote settings, students have further little contact with peers and feel disconnected. This paper answers how a Virtual Learning Companion (VLC) can be designed to address these challenges and fulfill the specific needs of vocational students. Following a Design Science Research (DSR) approach, a meta-requirement mapping process combines insights from a literature review and ten semi-structured interviews with vocational students. A focus group with experts from the field of vocational training, online learning, chatbot design, and DSR evaluated the results. As a result, five Design Principles are presented: (1) Motivational Goal Setting, (2) Context and Learner Adaptation, (3) Focus and Control, (4) Promoting Resilience, and (5) Enabling Social Interactions and Feedback. Exemplary Design Features further illustrate the VLC development.

Blended learning is adopted as the teaching method in an increasing number of higher education institutes worldwide. Adaptive learning technology (ALT) can be incorporated in such learning designs, especially to support students' a-synchronous, individual learning activities. In this empirical, mixed-method study, we investigated in what way teachers and students use the provided functionalities of a specific ALT to realise a blended course design. We interviewed four teachers delivering the same course using the ALT and we quantitatively analysed student trace data from the ALT log system. Our results show that teachers do recognize the added value of employing an ALT, but they do not realise its full potential by lack of usage of the dashboard, knowledge sharing among teachers and too little attention for (meta)cognitive and social support of students. The trace data analysis shows that students display cramming behaviour (no repetition and/or spaced practice), they are selective in which learning objectives they study and a majority chooses a suboptimal learning path. Based on our results, we conclude that, in the case we studied, the full potential that the ALT offers is not realised to the benefit of students, since both teachers and students show suboptimal behavior. We give recommendations for practice and future research based on our conclusions.
全球越来越多的高等教育机构采用混合式学习作为教学方法。自适应学习技术（ALT）可被纳入此类学习设计中，特别是用于支持学生的非同步个人学习活动。在这项混合方法的实证研究中，我们调查了教师和学生是如何利用特定 ALT 的功能来实现混合课程设计的。我们采访了四位使用 ALT 讲授同一课程的教师，并对 ALT 日志系统中的学生跟踪数据进行了定量分析。我们的结果表明，教师确实认识到了使用 ALT 的附加值，但由于缺乏对仪表板的使用、教师之间的知识共享以及对学生（元）认知和社会支持的关注太少，他们并没有充分发挥 ALT 的潜力。跟踪数据分析显示，学生表现出填鸭式学习行为（不重复和/或间隔练习），他们有选择性地学习哪些学习目标，大多数学生选择了次优学习路径。根据分析结果，我们得出结论：在我们研究的案例中，由于教师和学生都表现出次优行为，ALT 的全部潜力都没有发挥出来，学生也没有从中受益。根据我们的结论，我们提出了实践和未来研究的建议。

The pervasive and ubiquitous nature of technology has grown exponentially in the last decades. Technostress has been a common consequence of such intensive use, causing serious damage to IT users and organizations. How technostress is formed via primary appraisal toward IT and how it can be mitigated has been overlooked by prior research. This research addresses these gaps by mobilizing an IT identity perspective. IT identity informs about individuals’ attitudes towards IT and would explain the formation of negative feelings associated with the use of IT as well as how technostress mitigation occurs in a personal IT use setting.

Despite the hype of the blockchain technology, the implementation and execution of blockchain technologies in sectors beyond cryptocurrency is lagging and below par. Understanding the reasons behind this lag is important to enable addressing any voids and enable making maximum use of the technology. We shed light on this void by trying to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) faced by the use of blockchain technologies in industries beyond crypto, and thereby, draw insights valuable to develop a blockchain platform for healthcare.
