Title: " An Enriched Artifacts Activity for Supporting Creative Learning: Perspectives for Children with Impairments "
Lecturer: Professor Maria Letizia Jaccheri, IDI, NTNU
Abstract
In this talk I present the results of a creative development program for young students with the name, Our Toys. In our empirical evaluation, a group of researchers and artists designed and implemented two workshop programs of a total of 66 pupils, exploring their experiences with open source software. The workshops were based on Reggio Emilia philosophy of creative reuse and the open-source software Scratch. The results showed that software and hardware intensive activities raise awareness of technology, intensify the experience, and invite students to explore boundaries and increase collaboration and the exchange of views and ideas.

Title: " Facilitating Problem Solving in Diabetes Management with Information Technologies "
Lecturer: Assistant Professor Lena Mamykina, Department of Biomedical Informatics, Columbia University Medical Center
Abstract
Past research has provided robust evidence that well-developed problem-solving abilities are essential to successful diabetes management, result in better diabetes self-care behaviors, and lead to improvements in clinical outcomes. In this talk I will discuss an interactive application for facilitating problem solving in diabetes self-management developed at Columbia University, Mobile Diabetes Detective (MoDD). The application utilizes a combination of interactive website and text messages, and helps individuals to identify specific problems related to blood glucose management, relate these problems to their past behaviors, and set goals for corrective behaviors. We are currently evaluating the application in a randomized controlled trial.
