  2. 6. Situated Reflexive Change : User-Centred Design in(to) Practice

    Author : Elina Eriksson; Jan Gulliksen; Anna Swartling; Netta Iivari; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; user-centred design; user-centred systems design; organizational change; sensemaking; reflexivity; practice;

    Abstract : Technology used in the Swedish workplace is perceived to be controlling, gener- ally still difficult to use, and with a low degree of usability. Even though the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has been concerned with researching different ways of developing usable systems for at least half a century, there seem to be problems with the diffusion of the results into practice.

  4. 7. Anthropometric diversity and consideration of human capabilities : Methods for virtual product and production development

    Author : Erik Brolin; Roland Örtengren; Dan Högberg; Lars Hanson; John Rasmussen; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ergonomics; Human Factors; Anthropometry; Multi-Dimensional; Diversity; Digital Human Modelling; Simulation; Visualisation; Workplace Design; Product Design; Accommodation; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

    Abstract : Contemporary product and production development is typically carried out with the support of computer tools where the design of products and workstations are originated and evaluated within virtual environments. Ergonomics addresses factors important to consider in the product and production development process to ensure a good fit between humans and the items being designed. READ MORE

  5. 8. Designing collaborative robot workstations for human-centred automation in final assembly - A task allocation approach

    Author : Omkar Salunkhe; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; human-robot collaboration; collaborative robots; task allocation; human-centred automation; levels of automation;

    Abstract : With the rise of increasingly intricate products, human operators are stretched thin by greater physical and cognitive demands. A growing necessity has also arisen for automation to assist these operators supportively and productively while maintaining optimal efficiency. READ MORE

  6. 9. Usability – Who Cares? : The Introduction of User-Centred Systems Design in Organisations

    Author : Åsa Cajander; Jan Gulliksen; Inger Boivie; Bodil Jönsson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis analyses the difficulties encountered in the promotion of usability, especially in relation to occupation health issues, when developing IT systems in a public authority. It examines what happens when User-Centred Systems Design (UCSD) approaches are introduced to organisations with in-house systems development for their employees. READ MORE

  7. 10. Plug & Play? Stakeholders’ co-meaningmaking of gamification implementations in workplace learning environments

    Abstract : This dissertation discusses the implementation process of gamification in organisations’ workplace learning environments, focusing on four stakeholder groups: Administrators, Leaders, Providers and Users. These stakeholder groups are represented across the dissertation’s five articles, which present the results of my investigation of the groups’ meaning attributions to the gamification implementations in their organisations’ learning environments.
