Erfahrungen zur Nutzung von Mixed und Virtual Reality im Lehralltag an der HTW Dresden

Der Einsatz von immersiven Systemen, also Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) und Mixed Reality (MR) Systemen in der Lehre ist naheliegend. Eigene interaktive Erfahrung einer Tätigkeit ist immer einer reinen rezeptiven Beobachtung bzw. verbalen Erläuterung vorzuziehen. Trotzdem ist heutige Lehre selbst in Praktika und Übungen zum sehr großen Teil passiv, die selbständige Umsetzung, etwa das Bedienen einer Anlage oder die eigenständige Synthese einer Chemikalie, können aus Gründen der Zeit, Verfügbarkeit, Sicherheitsbedenken und Kostengründen oft nur selten eingesetzt werden. Dem Einsatz o.g. neuer immersiven Technologien stand bisher nicht nur der erhebliche Aufwand zur Erstellung entsprechender Simulationen gegenüber. Vor allem aber auch der Hardwareaufwand bei gleichzeitigem nicht optimalem Grad an Immersivität ließ kaum Möglichkeiten offen. Jeden Studenten einzeln ausreichend Zeit in einer teuren und großen Cave-Umgebung zu ermöglichen, damit dieser virtuell technische Anlagen bedient, ist für größere Studentenzahlen untauglich.

Getting Heads into the Cloud: Pre-Adoption Beliefs and Attitudes

This paper reports on the first phase of a 2-phase confirmation-disconfirmation study in which we conduct a pre-implementation survey of employees at a mid-sized university who are about to have their desktop computers replaced with cloud based systems. Specifically, we are interested in their pre-adoption attitudes toward the system and use intentions. We test a model that predicts pre-adoption attitudes based on individual characteristics including compter self efficacy and perceptions of the IT department that will be implementing the cloud system (perceptions of trust and service quality). We find that perceptions of the IT department influence pre-adoption perceptions of control over the system, which influences perceived usefulness and pre-adoption use intentions. Findings are highlighted in terms of implications for research and practice, in particular, we stress the importance of the ability of IT departments to manage user’s perceptions of trust and service quality to the success of IT initiatives

Jobs 4.0: Are Botswana Workers Ready?

This paper attempts to unravel the potential social effects of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) on Botswana employees. The authors investigated employees’ level of awareness and preparedness for an era of full blown 4IR adoption. Utilizing purposive sampling, a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 52 employees in Gaborone. This work employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT). The major findings of the study are: 50% of respondents confirmed their preparedness for the adoption of 4IR technologies; 48% believed that the rest of employees in their organization were prepared for 4IR; 65% said they were prepared to embrace and take advantage of the efficiencies brought about by 4IR; job roles are likely to change significantly with some roles disappearing and new roles emerging; and critical thinking, complex problem solving, innovation and digital related skills are bound to be more in demand. The outcomes of this research will serve as a wakeup call to Botswana employees, to equip themselves and future generations with requisite skills, for the changing roles. Furthermore, organizations will also use the outcomes to consider reskilling their employees accordingly. For educators, the study will encourage consideration and alignment of the curricular while in terms of and for policy formulation, it will engender reflecting on the regulatory frameworks to align them to the demands of the new era.Keywords: Fourth Industrial Revolution, industry 4.0, jobs4.0, future of jobs DOI: 10.7176/DCS/11-2-05 Publication date: February 28th 202

Factors affecting health care workers' acceptance and use of Telehealth in hospitals in Kwazulu-Natal

Magister Public Health - MPH (Public Health)Background and rationale: Telehealth is a collection of methods for enhancing health care, public health, and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technologies. Despite the many reported benefits of telehealth, there are challenges to its continued and widespread use in South Africa. It remains unclear what facilitates or hinders the integration of telehealth into routine clinical practice. Study aim and objectives: Drawing on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study investigated factors affecting healthcare workers' acceptance and use of telehealth in hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Specifically, it described the frequency and nature of telehealth use and the factors associated with technology acceptance; and evaluated the influence of socio-demographic factors (age, experience, profession, qualification) and acceptance factors on use and behavioural intention to use telehealth. Methods: A quantitative survey in seven hospitals (2 tertiary, 3 regional, 2 district) with telehealth facilities falling under the KZN Department of Health, was conducted. 177 medical, nursing, pharmacy and allied staff consented to complete an on-line, closed ended and structured self-administered questionnaire based on the UTAUT model. The responses to the individual likert scale items were assigned a score (1-4), and from this, total scores calculated for each construct. Respondent characteristics were converted into binary variables and associations with total scores on each of the UTAUT acceptance domains were tested using t-test. The associations between behavioural intention and actual use (as binary dependent variables); and the respondent profiles, scores for performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions (independent variables) were assessed in two multivariate logistic regression models

PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCES OF ADOPTING A TECHNOLOGY BASED INTERVENTION FOR ALCOHOL SCREENING AND REFERRAL TO TREATMENT IN PRIMARY CARE

Alcohol abuse is a significant concern in the United States. Today in the U.S., 15.1 million adults ages 18 and older, have been identified as having an alcohol use disorder. Alcohol abuse and binge drinking are highest amongst college students. More than 58.0 percent of college students admit to regular binge drinking or heavy alcohol use every month. Left unaddressed, this leads to negative health consequences later in life. The United States Preventive Services Task Force states that there is strong evidence that screening patients in primary care can reduce alcohol use disorder. Though screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in primary care are critical steps towards preventing alcohol use disorder, it is not routinely done. Providers state that they are time-constrained and need processes that will help them carry out screenings. The use of technology integrated with the electronic health record is one way to address the issue. The purpose of this study was to provide an understanding of the health care provider\u27s perceptions and experiences with technology adoption in alcohol use disorder and clinical SBIRT. The study used an exploratory, descriptive methods approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of what acts as a facilitator or barrier to technology adoption in SBIRT in primary care. The findings show that there is a gap in the understanding of how to integrate behavioral health screenings in the primary care workflow and EHR. Providers want to do SBIRT in clinical care, yet time-constrained visits remain an issue. Providers highlighted the importance of mapping the workflow in advance of practice change and using pilots before undertaking a broader practice change

DIGITALISAATIO TERVEYDENHUOLLON TYÖN MUUTTAJANA: Case YTHS

Digitalisaatioon panostetaan tämän päivän terveydenhuollossa, ja sen yhtenä tärkeimpänä tavoitteena on luoda parempia ja luotettavampia palveluketjuja asiakkaille. Terveydenhuollon ammattilaisille tieto- ja viestintäteknologian hyödyntäminen tarjoaa esimerkiksi joustavuutta omaan työhön. Aika- ja kustannus-säästöjä tavoitellaan viemällä palveluja yhä enemmän sähköiseen ympäristöön. Tässä tutkimuksessa kiin-nostus kohdistuu siihen, mitä mahdollisuuksia digitalisaatio tarjoaa terveydenhuollossa tehtävälle työlle ja kuinka digitalisaatioon suhtaudutaan yleisterveydenhuollossa. Tämä tutkimus antaa tietoa myös siitä, kuinka tieto- ja viestintäteknologia muuttaa yleisterveydenhuollossa tehtävää työtä, kun opiskelijat ovat asiakaskuntana. Digitalisaation mahdollistamaa työn muutosta tarkastellaan tässä tapaustutkimuksessa TAM-mallista ja affordanssiteoriasta käsin. Ne yhdessä auttavat ymmärtämään, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat siihen, että tieto- ja viestintäteknologia muuttaa yleisterveydenhuollossa tehtävää työtä. TAM-mallin avulla tarkastellaan tekijöitä, jotka auttavat terveydenhuollon henkilöstöä hyväksymään teknologiaa osaksi työhönsä ja affor-danssiteoria esittelee teknologian käyttömahdollisuuksien prosessin. Jotta tieto- ja viestintäteknologian käyttömahdollisuuksien potentiaali voidaan parhaiten organisaatiossa hyödyntää, ne täytyy havaita ja tunnistaa sekä toteuttaa. Sähköisellä kyselyllä toteutettiin empiirinen osuus. Kysely lähetettiin sähköpostitse YTHS:n jokaiseen yleisterveydenhuollon yksikköön potilastyöhön osallistuvalle henkilöstölle ja heidän lähiesimiehilleen. Otannan koko on (N = 236), joista vastanneita oli (n = 57). Todellinen vastausmäärä jäi 24 %:iin. Ai-neisto analysoitiin SPSS-ohjelmalla ja avoimet vastaukset analysoitiin sisällönanalyysilla. YTHS:ssä on ollut haasteita tieto- ja viestintäteknologian toimivuuden kanssa. Työntekijöiden asenne digitalisaatiota kohtaan on vastoinkäymisistä huolimatta positiivinen. Erityisen merkittäväksi tulokseksi nousi teknologian kokeminen hyödylliseksi omassa työssään. Jos henkilöstö oli saanut oikea-aikaista koulutusta ja perehdytystä sekä riittävän aikaisin tietoa tulevasta käyttöönotettavasta tieto- ja viestintä-teknologiasta, sen myönteisemmin he suhtautuivat tieto- ja viestintäteknologiaan omassa työssään. Tämä edesauttoi myös havaitsemaan teknologian käyttötarkoitusta paremmin. YTHS:ssä reaaliajan konsultoin-ti, potilaiden ajanvarausmahdollisuudet verkossa, potilaan omien tietojen tarkastelu ajasta ja paikasta riippumatta, tiedon löytäminen sekä resepti- ja rokotusasioiden helppous nähtiin tieto- ja viestintätekno-logian käyttömahdollisuuksina. Lisäksi teknologia voi säästää aikaa kasvokkain käytävää työskentelyä varten. Digitalisaatiolla nähdään olevan myös paljon uhkia, kuten tietoturva-asiat ja perinteisten vastaan-ottojen korvaantuminen kokonaan sähköisillä palveluilla. Työntekijän oma asenne digitalisaatiota koh-taan vaikuttaa paljon siihen, nähdäänkö tieto- ja viestintäteknologia omassa työssä rajoitteena vai mah-dollisuutena.fi=Opinnäytetyö kokotekstinä PDF-muodossa.|en=Thesis fulltext in PDF format.|sv=Lärdomsprov tillgängligt som fulltext i PDF-format

Modeling Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Information and Communication Technology Acceptance and Use

Import 16/04/2013Over the last decade the business world has changed so rapidly, that one can no longer imagine managing in a steady state. In no other domain has this observation been more relevant than in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The Internet and mobile technology, the two most dynamic technological forces in modern information and communication technologies are converging into one ubiquitous mobile Internet service, which will change our way of both doing business and dealing with our daily routine activities. There is no doubt that the mobile Internet service is moving toward the new generation on which enables mobile users to enjoy a variety of new and upgraded multimedia mobile services. Agarwal (2000) defines technology adoption as the use, or acceptance of a new technology, or new product. Moreover, understanding individual acceptance and use of information technology is one of the most mature streams of information systems research. In Information Technology and Information System (IT/IS) research, numerous theories are used to understand users’ adoption of new technologies. Various models were developed including the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and recently, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Each of these models has sought to identify the factors which influence a citizen’s intention or actual use of information technology.Prezenční460 - Katedra informatikyvyhově

Secure Strategies for Internet of Things Implementation in Warehouse Environments

The internet of things (IoT) in warehouse environments may present security issues and challenges. These issues and challenges may impact information technology (IT) leadership in warehouse environments because a lack of security strategy adoption may lead to increased network breaches. Grounded in the technology acceptance model, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between IT leaderships’ perceived ease-of-use, perceived usefulness of IoT devices, and their intent to adopt security strategies for IoT implementation in warehouse environments. Data were collected from IT leaders in North Texas warehouse environments using a peer-reviewed adoption survey from PsycTESTS.org. The results of the regression indicated that the model was insignificant, F(2, 66) = 1.721, p \u3e .05, R2 = 0.50. However, IT leadership’s Perceived Usefulness (β = .233) contributed more to the model than IT leadership’s Perceived Ease of Use (β = -.044). A key recommendation is for IT leaders to incorporate strategies to increase their perceived ease of usefulness. The implications for social change include the potential to increase the efficiency of warehousing and ensure the successful delivery of product for citizens
