Interdisciplinary methods make research and innovation more exciting, creative and useful

Challenge stereotypes & embrace the unexpected

Who defines «right» and «wrong» usage of technologies? !Why were women, youths, grumpy old men, women again, criticized for using technology «wrong» or not as expected - by whom? !If surprised by usage - embrace it! !«The time will come, he predicted, when Mrs. Smith would spend an hour with Mrs. Brown ‘very enjoyably cutting up Mrs. Robinson’ over the telephone» (Aronson 1977:31)

#cloudsandconcerts: data analytics is a way to understand and discover surprises

To discover surprises - you have to ask questions, new questions, challenge your own stereotypes and listen to people thinking different than you !

#lyseideer - from data analytics to user participation, user testing & prototyping - that’s when it starts to be exciting!

How can we use these methods to meet Østfold University College’s research areas?
