Il progetto Erasmus+ Critical Making, i cui partner includono il Politecnico di Torino e la Fondazione Links, ed in cui la associazione Dschola è partner associato, entra nella fase operativa e lancia il suo corso per aiutare i docenti a combattere la disinformazione in ambito scientifico attraverso la progettazione didattica e l'integrazione delle tecnologie.

Il corso si svolgerà all'interno del laboratorio specificatamente attrezzato al Politecnico di Torino nei mesi di ottobre e novembre, dove si sperimenterà in pratica come integrare nella propria disciplina tecnologie hardware e software (robot, stampanti 3D, videogiochi, audio/video) con il duplice obiettivo di aumentare le competenze digitali degli studenti e combattere la loro disinformazione in ambito scientifico.

In questo percorso sarai accompagnatə nello sviluppo di un progetto didattico e farai parte di un ambiente di apprendi- mento composto da te, altri docenti, ricercatori, facilitatori e vari strumenti da esplorare, che potrai utilizzare come “materiale da costruzione” per realizzare il tuo progetto.

Le iscrizioni sono aperte fino al 30 settembre: i posti sono limitati, affrettarsi a prenotarsi per non perdere questa bella opportunità.

On July 15 and 16, the partners of the AccessCoVE project met for the 2nd plenary meeting of the project (following the kick-off meeting in Thessaloniki in September 2023, and many on-line meetings).

The partners were hosted for two very dense days in the Ciminiera Meeting Room at the Department of Control and Computer Engineering, in Politecnico di Torino. The partners revised the different Workpackages and pending activities, and planned a significant number of activities for the next Autumn.

On June 26, I presented the work "Empowering Users: End User Development for Mobile Applications Privacy Management" at the first International Workshop on Trusted Computing and Artificial Intelligence applied to Cybersecurity, held in Paris.

Smartphones have become integral to everyday life, offering numerous benefits but also raising significant privacy and security concerns. Users often face challenges managing app permissions and protecting personal data due to the complexity of existing smartphone operating system settings. Our research addresses these issues by introducing Privacy Manager, a mobile application designed for Android devices that employs an End-User Development (EUD) approach.

The workshop Digital Wellbeing for Teens - Designing Educational Systems (DIGI-Teens), to be held on June 3-4, 2024, at Arenzano, Italy is currently accepting contributions!

DIGI-Teens is an AVI 2024 workshop that aims to establish a venue for the academic and industrial communities to discuss ongoing research and ideas at the intersection of digital wellbeing and education, aiming to promote the development of strategies and tools to "teach" users – particularly children and teenagers – to use technology more meaningfully and consciously.
