Popular education and the digital citizen: a genealogical analysis

This paper historicises and problematises the concept of the digital citizen and how it is constructed in Sweden today. Specifically, it examines the role of popular education in such an entanglement. It makes use of a genealogical analysis to produce a critical ‘history of the present’ by mapping out the debates and controversies around the emergence of the digital citizen in the 1970s and 1980s, and following to its manifestations in contemporary debates. This article argues that free and voluntary adult education (popular education) is and has been fundamental in efforts to construe the digital citizen. A central argument of the paper is that popular education aiming for digital inclusion is not a 21st century phenomenon; it actually commenced in the 1970s. However, this digitisation of citizens has also changed focus dramatically since the 1970s. During the 1970s, computers and computerisation were described as disconcerting, and as requiring popular education in order to counter the risk of the technology “running wild”. In current discourses, digitalisation is constructed in a non-ideological and post-political way. These post-political tendencies of today can be referred to as a post-digital present where computers have become so ordinary, domesticized and ubiquitous in everyday life that they are thereby also beyond criticism.

Kamratgranskning av rapporter i kursen Systemteknik

Traditionellt har examinationen av många kurser på LTH bestått av en skriftlig tentamen efter kursen avslutande. Detta instrument för att mäta och värdera studenternas kunskaper har ofta i stor utsträckning styrt studenternas studievanor, ofta med intensivt tentaläsande som följd. Kamratgranskning, eller ”Peer Review”, är en metod som kan användas som en del i en löpande examination under kursen gång. Metoden bygger på att studenterna utvärderar och ger synpunkter på varandras arbeten, vilket stimulerar till aktivitet och interaktion under en större del av kursen. På Institutionen för Reglerteknik har metoden med gott resultat tillämpas vid rapportskrivning i kursen Systemteknik som ges för tredjeårs­studenterna på Ekosystemteknikprogrammet. Erfarenheterna från det inledande försöket var mycket positiva, vilket lett till att kamratgranskning numera är ett permanent inslag i kursen

This is what I'm doing and why: reflections on a think-aloud study of digital library users' information behaviour

Many user-centred studies of digital libraries include a think-aloud element – where users are asked to verbalise their thoughts, interface actions and sometimes their feelings whilst using digital libraries to help them complete one or more information tasks. These studies are usually conducted with the purpose of identifying usability issues related to the system(s) used or understanding aspects of users‟ information behaviour. However, few of these studies present detailed accounts of how their think-aloud data was collected and analysed or provide detailed reflection on their methodologies. In this paper, we discuss and reflect on the decisions made when planning and conducting a think-aloud study of lawyers‟ interactive information behaviour. Our discussion is framed by Blandford et al.‟s PRET A Rapporter („ready to report‟) framework – a framework that can be used to plan, conduct and describe user-centred studies of digital library use from an information work perspective

Udvikling af tre kvalitetsudviklingsværktøjer: Redegørelse for baggrund og metode – i forhold til udarbejdelsen af de tre kvalitetsvurderingsskemaer

Børne‐ og undervisningsministeriet indgik i december 2012 en aftale om i et forskningsmæssigt samarbejde mellem Aarhus Universitet (Institut for Uddannelse og Pædagogik/forskningsprogrammet SILO) og SFI at gennemføre et projekt, der har til formål at etablere viden om kvalitet på specialskolerne og udvikle kvalitet på skolerne. De enkelte dele af projektet er beskrevet i fem rapporter og tre former for webbaserede kvalitetsudviklingsværktøjer. De fem rapporter er alle udgivet af Institut for Uddannelse og Pædagogik på Aarhus Universitet, hvor de også kan downloades gratis

Weed problems in various tillage systems in the Nordic countries

There is an increasing use of various forms of reduced tillage or no-tillage in the Nordic countries. This will favour the growth of grass weed species and perennial species. Perennial creeping weeds like Elymus repens, Cirsium arvense, and Sonchus arvensis are important in all Nordic countries. Stationary weeds such as Taraxacum spp., Artemisia vulgaris and volunteer grassland species increase in areas with reduced tillage and especially no-tillage systems. Winter annual and biennial species such as Matricaria perforata, Poa annua, Alopecurus geniculatus and Stellaria media are frequently occuring weeds in reduced tillage systems in all countries, while Alopecurus myosuroides and Apera spica-venti are problems in Denmark and Southern parts of Sweden and Finland
