The Internet and computers increasingly determine our daily lives. This goes for almost everyone in the Netherlands. Still, it is mostly teenagers who are well informed on how to use all the possibilities of new technologies. They are building a digital world of their own that parents usually know very little about. This booklet intends to inform teachers, parents and other interested parties on what teenagers are actually doing online and how important it is to keep abreast of the new developments that the Internet and computers bring into their world. On the basis of research into these issues in the Netherlands and abroad we attempt to indicate what the digital world of teenagers looks like and how it differs from that of grown-ups. What do they do, exactly, and why? We also look into teenagers’ ICT behaviour and into dangers and abuse of the Internet. Moreover we provide tips for parents and teachers on how to handle certain phenomena. This book does not pretend to provide an exhaustive overview of the digital world of teenagers. It is focused on some important characteristics and parts of that world. It reports on research of the INHOLLAND Centre for eLearning into various aspects of ICT behaviour among teenagers. The research was undertaken in the spring of 2006, focusing mainly on texting, networking, gaming, dangers and abuse on the Internet and the digital relation between school and the home. Ultimately we are especially concerned with the question of what teenagers really learn in their digital world, and how education can profit. This book also addresses that issue.

Paralympic wheelchair athletes solely depend on the power of their upper-body for their on-court wheeled mobility as well as for performing sport-specific actions in ball sports, like a basketball shot or a tennis serve. The objective of WheelPower is to improve the power output of athletes in their sport-specific wheelchair to perform better in competition. To achieve this objective the current project systematically combines the three Dutch measurement innovations (WMPM, Esseda wheelchair ergometer, PitchPerfect system) to monitor a large population of athletes from different wheelchair sports resulting in optimal power production by wheelchair athletes during competition. The data will be directly implemented in feedback tools accessible to athletes, trainers and coaches which gives them the unique opportunity to adapt their training and wheelchair settings for optimal performance. Hence, the current consortium facilitates mass and focus by uniting scientists and all major Paralympic wheelchair sports to monitor the power output of many wheelchair athletes under field and lab conditions, which will be assisted by the best data science approach to this challenge.

The focus of this project is on improving the resilience of hospitality Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by enabling them to take advantage of digitalization tools and data analytics in particular. Hospitality SMEs play an important role in their local community but are vulnerable to shifts in demand. Due to a lack of resources (time, finance, and sometimes knowledge), they do not have sufficient access to data analytics tools that are typically available to larger organizations. The purpose of this project is therefore to develop a prototype infrastructure or ecosystem showcasing how Dutch hospitality SMEs can develop their data analytic capability in such a way that they increase their resilience to shifts in demand. The one year exploration period will be used to assess the feasibility of such an infrastructure and will address technological aspects (e.g. kind of technological platform), process aspects (e.g. prerequisites for collaboration such as confidentiality and safety of data), knowledge aspects (e.g. what knowledge of data analytics do SMEs need and through what medium), and organizational aspects (what kind of cooperation form is necessary and how should it be financed).Societal issueIn the Netherlands, hospitality SMEs such as hotels play an important role in local communities, providing employment opportunities, supporting financially or otherwise local social activities and sports teams (Panteia, 2023). Nevertheless, due to their high fixed cost / low variable business model, hospitality SMEs are vulnerable to shifts in consumer demand (Kokkinou, Mitas, et al., 2023; Koninklijke Horeca Nederland, 2023). This risk could be partially mitigated by using data analytics, to gain visibility over demand, and make data-driven decisions regarding allocation of marketing resources, pricing, procurement, etc…. However, this requires investments in technology, processes, and training that are oftentimes (financially) inaccessible to these small SMEs.Benefit for societyThe proposed study touches upon several key enabling technologies First, key enabling technology participation and co-creation lies at the center of this proposal. The premise is that regional hospitality SMEs can achieve more by combining their knowledge and resources. The proposed project therefore aims to give diverse stakeholders the means and opportunity to collaborate, learn from each other, and work together on a prototype collaboration. The proposed study thereby also contributes to developing knowledge with and for entrepreneurs and to digitalization of the tourism and hospitality sector.Collaborative partnersHZ University of Applied Sciences, Hotel Hulst, Hotel/Restaurant de Belgische Loodsensociëteit, Hotel Zilt, DM Hotels, Hotel Charley's, Juyo Analytics, Impuls Zeeland.
Veel kinderen in de leeftijdsgroep van 8 tot 12 jaar haken af op de sportclub door slechte ervaringen met goedbedoelende, maar vaak onvoldoende deskundige jeugdtrainers en door de soms negatieve sfeer op en rond sportvelden. Dat geldt vooral voor kinderen die moeilijk-te-verstaan (‘lastig’) gedrag vertonen ten gevolge van milde psychosociale problemen. Het project beoogt een gedragsverandering bij jeugdtrainers te stimuleren en daarmee bij te dragen aan een veilig en inclusief klimaat voor kinderen op de sportclub. Getracht wordt om professionals zoals buurtsportcoaches en clubkadercoaches, te voorzien van een gebruiksvriendelijke digitale tool voor het begeleiden van jeugdtrainers. Daartoe wordt via een social design-benadering gefaseerd gewerkt aan de verdere ontwikkeling van de digitale tool App4Support, waarvan we recent in een eerder project een Proof of Concept (PoC)-versie tot stand hebben gebracht. De verdere ontwikkeling van App4Support vindt plaats binnen drie werkpakketten: 1. Participatie en co-creatie – Sportprofessionals, jeugdtrainers en ouders ontwerpen gezamenlijk gedragsinterventies voor jeugdtrainers die aansluiten bij de realiteit op de sportclub; 2. Gedrag en empowerment – Via interactieve workshops beoordelen sportprofessionals, jeugdtrainers en ouders gezamenlijk op basis van praktijkervaringen in hoeverre de ontworpen gedragsinterventies daadwerkelijk positief gedrag stimuleren en negatieve interacties ombuigen; 3. Waardecreatie en opschaling – Gunstig beoordeelde gedragsinterventies worden geïntegreerd in de digitale tool App4Support, met bijzondere aandacht voor de gebruiksvriendelijkheid van de app, de prioritering van adviezen en de toevoeging van gamification-elementen. Dit éénjarige project wordt uitgevoerd door Hogeschool Windesheim in samenwerking met Feeton als bedrijf uit de creatieve industrie, met In Opbouw, Intraverte en Sportservice Zwolle als organisaties uit de sector sport en gezondheid, en met enkele sportverenigingen. Vanuit een social design-benadering worden pedagogische inzichten, innovatieve methodes, gebruikerswensen en digitale technologie gecombineerd ter stimulering van positieve sportervaringen voor kinderen met milde psychosociale problemen.
Digital innovations in the field of immersive Augmented Reality (AR) can be a solution to offer adults who are mentally, physically or financially unable to attend sporting events such as premier league football a stadium and match experience. This allows them to continue to connect with their social networks. In the intended project, AR content will be further developed with the aim of evoking the stadium experience of home matches as much as possible. The extent to which AR enriches the experience is then tested in an experiment, in which the experience of a football match with and without AR enrichment is measured in a stadium setting and in a home setting. The experience is measured with physiological signals. In addition, a subjective experience measure is also being developed and benchmarked (the experience impact score). Societal issueInclusion and health: The joint experience of (top) sports competitions forms a platform for vulnerable adults, with a limited social capital, to build up and maintain the social networks that are so necessary for them. AR to fight against social isolation and loneliness.
