We highlight the importance of developing digital learning technologies in a user-centered way to take differences in the requirements of educators and students into account. We suggest applying qualitative and quantitative methods to build a solid understanding of a learning platform's users, their needs, requirements, and their context of use. After concept development and idea generation of features and areas of opportunity based on the user research, we emphasize on the application of a multi-attribute utility analysis decision-making framework to prioritize ideas rationally, taking results of user research into account. Afterward, we recommend applying the principle build-learn-iterate to build prototypes in different resolutions while learning from user tests and improving the selected opportunities. Last but not least, we propose an approach for continuous short- and long-term user experience controlling and monitoring, extending existing web- and learning analytics metrics.}, language = {en} } @article{KlattNoelMusculusetal.2019, author = {Klatt, Stefanie and Noel, Benjamin and Musculus, Lisa and Werner, Karsten and Laborde, Sylvain and Lopes, Mariana Calabria and Greco, Pablo J. and Memmert, Daniel and Raab, Markus}, title = {Creative and Intuitive Decision-Making Processes: A Comparison of Brazilian and German Soccer Coaches and Players}, series = {Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport}, volume = {90}, journal = {Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport}, number = {4}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0270-1367}, doi = {10.1080/02701367.2019.1642994}, pages = {651 -- 665}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Purpose: The concepts of creativity and intuition have been well studied in isolation, but less is known about their distinctive contributions to option generation in decision making. Method: We examined the relation between creative and intuitive decision making in two studies-one involving coaches and one involving soccer players-using video footage of real soccer matches. Additionally, we analyzed whether this relation is culture generic or culture specific by conducting matched cross-cultural studies in a European and a South American country. Results: In Study 1, results indicate a conceptual overlap of creativity and intuition for Brazilian and German soccer coaches. Furthermore, coaches did not differ in their evaluation of creative and intuitive actions of players of both cultures. In Study 2, we found that for both subsamples the total number of generated options was positively correlated with the quality of the first and the final option and that the quality of players' first (intuitive) option was higher than that of options generated later. Moreover, results indicate a positive correlation between a player's creativity score and the quality of the first generated option for the whole sample. Conclusion: Overall, our findings provide meaningful information regarding athletes' and coaches' option-generation processes in decision making in complex team sports.}, language = {en} } @book{RolfesSchubarthKohlstrucketal.2020, author = {Rolfes, Manfred and Schubarth, Wilfried and Kohlstruck, Michael and Bode, Dagmar}, title = {Das Handlungskonzept „Tolerantes Brandenburg" im Fokus}, series = {Potsdamer Geographische Praxis}, journal = {Potsdamer Geographische Praxis}, number = {15}, editor = {Rolfes, Manfred}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-483-8}, issn = {2194-1599}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-44141}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-441418}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {172}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Dieser Band der Reihe „Potsdamer Geographische Praxis" enth{\"a}lt drei Beitr{\"a}ge, die sich mit dem Handlungskonzept „Tolerantes Brandenburg" der Brandenburgischen Landesregierung befassen.

Der erste Beitrag von Schubarth, Kohlstruck und Rolfes beinhaltet die Ergebnisse der wissenschaftlichen Beobachtung der Zukunftsdialoge; die Ergebnisse beruhen {\"u}berwiegend auf teilnehmenden Beobachtungen der Zukunftsdialoge und qualitativen Interviews mit Teilnehmenden. Der zweite Beitrag von Bode und Rolfes basiert auf einer quantitativen Methodik und enth{\"a}lt die Auswertungen einer standardisierten Befragung der Teilnehmer/innen der Zukunftsdialoge. Die Ergebnisse beider Untersuchungen liefern wichtige Erkenntnisse und gute Ansatzpunkte, wie einerseits die Institutionen des Beratungsnetzwerks „Tolerantes Brandenburg" und das Handlungskonzept auf lokaler Ebene eine gr{\"o}ßere Bekanntheit erlangen k{\"o}nnten und andererseits, welche Schritte hilfreich w{\"a}ren, um eine (noch) st{\"a}rkere Verankerung des Handlungskonzeptes in den Regionen zu erreichen. Beim dritten Beitrag von Schubarth, Kohlstruck und Rolfes handelt es sich eine Expertise aus dem Jahr 2019. Der Beitrag liefert einen mehrdimensionalen Blick auf das Handlungskonzept aus unterschiedlichen internen wie externen Perspektiven. Dabei wird vor allem auf die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Ver{\"a}nderungen fokussiert, die sich seit 2014 im Handlungsfeld „Demokratiest{\"a}rkung und Auseinandersetzung mit dem Rechtsextremismus" ergeben haben.

Handling doctor-patient relationships collaboratively and providing patients access to their health information are crucial steps in empowering patients. In mental healthcare, the implicit consensus amongst practitioners has been that sharing medical records with patients may have an unpredictable, harmful impact on clinical practice. In order to involve patients more actively in mental healthcare processes, Tele-Board MED (TBM) allows for digital collaborative documentation in therapist-patient sessions. The TBM software system offers a whiteboard-inspired graphical user interface that allows therapist and patient to jointly take notes during the treatment session. Furthermore, it provides features to automatically reuse the digital treatment session notes for the creation of treatment session summaries and clinical case reports. This thesis presents the development of the TBM system and evaluates its effects on 1) the fulfillment of the therapist's duties of clinical case documentation, 2) patient engagement in care processes, and 3) the therapist-patient relationship. Following the design research methodology, TBM was developed and tested in multiple evaluation studies in the domains of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy and addiction care. The results show that therapists are likely to use TBM with patients if they have a technology-friendly attitude and when its use suits the treatment context. Support in carrying out documentation duties as well as fulfilling legal requirements contributes to therapist acceptance. Furthermore, therapists value TBM as a tool to provide a discussion framework and quick access to worksheets during treatment sessions. Therapists express skepticism, however, regarding technology use in patient sessions and towards complete record transparency in general. Patients expect TBM to improve the communication with their therapist and to offer a better recall of discussed topics when taking a copy of their notes home after the session. Patients are doubtful regarding a possible distraction of the therapist and usage in situations when relationship-building is crucial. When applied in a clinical environment, collaborative note-taking with TBM encourages patient engagement and a team feeling between therapist and patient. Furthermore, it increases the patient's acceptance of their diagnosis, which in turn is an important predictor for therapy success. In summary, TBM has a high potential to deliver more than documentation support and record transparency for patients, but also to contribute to a collaborative doctor-patient relationship. This thesis provides design implications for the development of digital collaborative documentation systems in (mental) healthcare as well as recommendations for a successful implementation in clinical practice.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Ullrich2018, author = {Ullrich, Andr{\´e}}, title = {Eigenschaften wandlungsf{\"a}higer Systeme}, publisher = {GITO}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95545-265-0}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {XIX, 403}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Wandlungsf{\"a}higkeit beschreibt die F{\"a}higkeit eines Systems, proaktiv oder reaktiv Maßnahmen f{\"u}r die Modifikation seiner Eigenschaften schnell und effizient zu entwickeln, umzusetzen und anzuwenden sowie sich proaktiv darauf vorzubereiten, inaktiv zu sein und passiv Einwirkungen aus der Umwelt zu tolerieren.

In this paper, we first study the state-of-the-art for evaluating the performances of self-healing systems by means of a systematic literature review. We provide a classification of different input types for such systems and analyse the limitations of each input type. A main finding is that the employed inputs are often not sophisticated regarding the considered characteristics for failure occurrences. To further study the impact of the identified limitations, we present experiments demonstrating that wrong assumptions regarding the characteristics of the failure occurrences can result in large performance prediction errors, disadvantageous design-time decisions concerning the selection of alternative self-healing approaches, and disadvantageous deployment-time decisions concerning parameter tuning. Furthermore, the experiments indicate that employing multiple alternative input characteristics can help with reducing the risk of premature disadvantageous design-time decisions.}, language = {en} } @misc{AlbertOwolabiGebeletal.2020, author = {Albert, Justin Amadeus and Owolabi, Victor and Gebel, Arnd and Brahms, Clemens Markus and Granacher, Urs and Arnrich, Bert}, title = {Evaluation of the Pose Tracking Performance of the Azure Kinect and Kinect v2 for Gait Analysis in Comparison with a Gold Standard}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Reihe der Digital Engineering Fakult{\"a}t}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Reihe der Digital Engineering Fakult{\"a}t}, number = {3}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-48413}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-484130}, pages = {24}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Gait analysis is an important tool for the early detection of neurological diseases and for the assessment of risk of falling in elderly people. The availability of low-cost camera hardware on the market today and recent advances in Machine Learning enable a wide range of clinical and health-related applications, such as patient monitoring or exercise recognition at home. In this study, we evaluated the motion tracking performance of the latest generation of the Microsoft Kinect camera, Azure Kinect, compared to its predecessor Kinect v2 in terms of treadmill walking using a gold standard Vicon multi-camera motion capturing system and the 39 marker Plug-in Gait model. Five young and healthy subjects walked on a treadmill at three different velocities while data were recorded simultaneously with all three camera systems. An easy-to-administer camera calibration method developed here was used to spatially align the 3D skeleton data from both Kinect cameras and the Vicon system. With this calibration, the spatial agreement of joint positions between the two Kinect cameras and the reference system was evaluated. In addition, we compared the accuracy of certain spatio-temporal gait parameters, i.e., step length, step time, step width, and stride time calculated from the Kinect data, with the gold standard system. Our results showed that the improved hardware and the motion tracking algorithm of the Azure Kinect camera led to a significantly higher accuracy of the spatial gait parameters than the predecessor Kinect v2, while no significant differences were found between the temporal parameters. Furthermore, we explain in detail how this experimental setup could be used to continuously monitor the progress during gait rehabilitation in older people.}, language = {en} }
