The COMBLE project defines new and innovative models for the use of Blended learning in different educational backgrounds (vocational training, enterprises, universities, public bodies). To use the potentials of Blended learning a European wiki-based community called Methopedia will be established. By contributing to the development of Blended learning COMBLE supports ICT relevant methods that are indispensable for lifelong learning in Europe. Moreover, COMBLE will address to management-level, learners and trainers at the same time. We will develop a number of products - an applied reference model of Blended Learning, an expert course for trainers, and a European Blended Learning Driver’s Licence within the overall frame of the Methopedia. These products support the development of a community for best practices and the use of Blended Learning to be used in all educational contexts. Moreover, the quality of education and training in Europe will be enhanced by improving innovative Blended Learning concepts. COMBLE supports the successful implementation of Blended learning methods and strategies in the formal learning context of Vocational training, Continued Professional Development and Higher education systems. By working closely with application partners COMBLE develops practical, situated and innovative Blended Learning methods.
Sensitizing students to information security and privacy awareness with analogue gamification
(2019)
Many studies and investigations in the area of information security reveal a careless handling of sensitive data and insufficient information security awareness. Despite increasing digitization, which has a huge impact on society as a whole, we tend not to pay enough attention to the risks associated with it. But research shows that the mere transfer of knowledge is not enough to cause behavioural changes. Rather, a systemic approach that can bring about the necessary emotionalization and reflection through analogue game-based learning is helpful.
In this paper, we explain the development of an analysis tool (Wildau Information System Evaluation [WISE] Work Index) for exploring the adoption of innovative E-Government applications and for presenting preliminary results regarding the application “eAkte”. We argue that the innovation processes characterized by the use of E-Government applications and tools continually transform the division of labour and the organizational aspects of work in uncertain ways. In some cases, adopting E-Government tools might exert a negative influence on work effectiveness and efficiency. A continuous evaluation and a participative redesigning of E-Government applications might help to avoid negative adopting habits in E-Government. Our research goal is to improve our WISE Work Index which aims at analysing the adoption of E-Government tools among public sector employees. Through our index, we explore how public employees use new E-Government tools in their day-to-day work, how they perceive the usefulness of the tools, and how they adapt their former working routines to the new IT environment. Implementing our index makes it possible to monitor the impact of using E-Government online services as well as their content and to offer concrete suggestions to public managers about ways to enhance the public value of their information and communication technologies (ICT) including employees' views on actively co-designing the public informational services.
