Socially aware design of interactive systems to combat gender-based violence in low-resource settings
In this paper, we examine the socio-cultural, technical, and organisational contexts surrounding Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention and response as a basis for designing interactive digital systems that facilitate multi-agency collaboration and strengthen GBV service delivery in resource-constrained environments. We address two research questions: (i) What socio-technical factors shape the design of digital systems that support multi-agency c…
O Ensino De Computação Para Além Dos Muros Da Escola
Muitas barreiras que há décadas obstruem o avanço igualitário do ensino da computação nas escolas não são exclusivas à realidade brasileira. Como contraponto, neste artigo, olha-se para o contexto do Reino Unido e para as necessidades de transformação também identificadas no ensino de computação para crianças em idade escolar no país. Diante dessa análise, propõe-se uma visão atualizada para o ensino de computação que é mais ampla no conceito de …
Culture-based artefacts to inform ICT design
Cultural aspects frame our perception of the world and direct the many different ways people interact with things in it. For this reason, these aspects should be considered when designing technology with the purpose to positively impact people in a community. In this paper, we revisit the foundations of culture aiming to bring this concept in dialogue with design. To inform design with cultural aspects, we model reality in three levels of formali…
Collective intelligence for promoting changes in behaviour
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges humanity faces today. Despite of high investments in technology, battling climate change is futile without the participation of the public, and changing their perception and habits. Collective intelligence tools can play an important role in translating this “distant” concept that is climate change into practical hints for everyday life. In this paper, we report a case study grounded on collective i…
A socially inspired energy feedback technology
Raising awareness of the environmental impact of energy generation and consumption has been a recent concern of contemporary society worldwide. Underlying the awareness of energy consumption is an intricate network of perception and social interaction that can be mediated by technology. In this paper we argue that issues regarding energy, environment and technology are very much situated and involve tensions of sociocultural nature. This explorat…
