Collective Intelligence (CI) is important for groups that seek to address shared problems. CI in human can be mediated by educational technologies. The current paper presents a framework support design thinking relation Our grounded an organismic-contextualist developmental perspective orients enquiry the of increasingly complex and integrated systems coordinated group problem solving behaviour. We focus on pedagogies infrastructure we argue project-based learning provides sound basis...

Cancer survivorship in Ireland is increasing both frequency and longevity. However, a significant proportion of cancer survivors do not reach the recommended physical activity levels have overweight. This has implications for psychological health, including an increased risk subsequent secondary cancers. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions demonstrate potential positive behavior change, but there little evidence efficacy mobile technology improving outcomes with overweight or obesity.This...

Few studies been carried out survivors; therefore, acceptability these tools and requires further investigation.The aim study examine intervention using mHealth...

Hypertension remains one of the most important modifiable risk factors for stroke and heart disease. Anti-hypertensive medications are effective, but often not used to maximum benefit. Sub-optimal dosing by prescribers challenges with medication-taking patients remain barriers effective blood pressure control.

Systems‐based approaches to societal problem‐solving entail a capacity synthesise our knowledge and skills such that we can resolve shared problems. However, the increasing range of specialisms, scientific engineering methods, skill profiles at population‐level challenges solidarity. It is also difficult identify unifying goals establish sustainable educational infrastructures support transdisciplinary teamwork. Drawing upon collective intelligence multidisciplinary group, this paper...

Resolving complex scientic and social problems is often impeded by three interdependent human limitations: poor critical thinking skills; no clear methodology to facilitate group coherence, consensus design, collective action; limited computational capacities. Third level science education designed the development of generic thinking skills, but does so with only success (Kuhn, 2005). Furthermore, third level generally focuses on domain-specic skills that do not necessarily transfer...

ABSTRACT Human-technology interactions are omnipresent in daily life, a reality that must be faced to enact positive change without uprooting the technological systems have come define us. The present study develops collective intelligence model for human-technology interaction (HTI) design aims promote peace, prosperity, and happiness through intentionality informed by utopian targets of radical improvement society. Participants generated ideas, clarified consolidated them, then developed...

The increasing volumes of datasets published on open data platforms have had little impact the public use and perceived transparency respective governments. At same time, innovation potentials these are far from realized due to many factors including poor quality datasets. While past studies attempted catalog barriers exploitation use; few focused role available in tackling this problem. In addressing gap, research work examines problems (or pathologies) associated with current generation...
