Miedema, Daphne (author), Taipalus, Toni (author), Aivaloglou, E.A. (author)Several educational studies have argued for the contextualization of assignments, i.e., for providing a context or a story instead of an abstract or symbolic problem statement. Such contextualization may have beneficial effects such as higher student engagement and lower dropout rates. In the domain of database education, textbooks and...conference paper 2023

Gebert, J. (author), Huber-Humer, Marion (author), Cabral, Alexandre R. (author)Landfill methane currently represents the largest global source of greenhouse gas emissions from the solid waste sector. Emissions are expected to increase due to increasing waste generation, particularly in countries still landfilling biodegradable wastes. As a complementary measure to gas extraction with subsequent flaring or energy conversion...review 2022

van Beek, E. (author), Boess, S.U. (author)There is an increasing acknowledgement of the role of residents in the success of low- or zero-energy renovations. One of the approaches to improve this factor is by influencing resident behaviour by means of devices for feedback on consumption. The goal of these systems is to help residents make sense of the relation between their actions and...conference paper 2022

van der Burg, Vera (author), Akdag Salah, A.A. (author), Chandrasegaran, R.S.K. (author)Emerging practices of using ‘off the shelf’ AI as a creative partner in design processes are receiving increasing attention in design research. This paper takes the well-known concept of ‘framing’ in design, along with the Schönian concept of ‘surprise’ to explore how a human-AI dialogue could work. The approach taken is practice-based, with the...conference paper 2022
