Comparing tangible and graphical interface of occupant voting system: Preliminary results of experimental field study in an office

Occupant voting systems (OVS) collect real-time votes on occupants’ perception on the indoor environment. The votes are applied to improve building control to achieve low energy consumption and improved occupant satisfaction. For achieving these, occupants need to use the OVS frequently. Few studies investigated whether the OVS’s interface influence voting frequency. The study in this paper compared a tangible OVS interface (TUI), designed as a panel of buttons, to a graphical OVS interface (GUI), designed as a smartphone app. The study was conducted as a withingroup in-field experiment in an office space with fourteen participants over four weeks. The results showed that when the participants could only vote with one of the interfaces, they casted equally the same amount of votes on the TUI and GUI. When the participants could freely choose between the two interfaces, they voted more with the TUI because it was accessible and easier to use.publishedVersio

Progressing Context in Entrepreneurship Education: Reflections from a Delphi Study

Stimulating entrepreneurial agency among citizens, companies, and organizations is a central objective of many policymakers, potentially requiring arenas for innovation, networks of advisors, training, infrastructure, and finances, among other things. Nonetheless, central to agency is the individual’s own willingness and empowerment to engage. Some aspects of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial action have been argued to be broadly applicable across disciplines, geographies, and cultures, while others are significantly dependent upon a set of variables in which one is embedded. Thus, considering ways in which the contextual complexity of entrepreneurship (and education) is represented in entrepreneurship education is critical. Recent literature establishes that it is important to design for and with context in entrepreneurship education (Thomassen, et al., International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior & Research 26(5):863–886, 2020), but we lack documented knowledge regarding how this can and potentially should be done. In this chapter, we aim to progress a research agenda by identifying current challenges and future opportunities brought forward by experts in entrepreneurship education research through a Delphi study in order to advance the contextualization of entrepreneurship education
