“…For example, the absence of resilient WiFi communications in the third world demands educational services to reduce internet access time by caching information [42], indicating the inapplicability of alternative solutions such as Mobile Moodle (Momo), Mobile Learning Engine (MLE) and Moodbile. As specific solutions do not generalize well towards domain-level solutions, multiple studies call for developing generalizable architectures for technologies [20,61] as well as for Smart City development [30]. The children's independent mobility (CLIMB) platform proposed by Gerosa et al [20] is an example of an architecture that aims to provide an abstraction layer on top of servicespecific solutions.…”

Smart Cities have become one of the most interesting research topics for governments, businesses and researchers in the last few years. Being a Smart City implies a competitive edge compared to other cities in terms of economic growth, sustainability, human resources and governance. Therefore, more and more governments pursue this future vision and hop onto the Smart City `Bandwagon'. However, the development of Smart City solutions is faced with challenges since there is no clear definition for Smart Cities yet. This paper provides a review on what challenges arise when designing Smart City solutions to provide a complete overview of identified challenges. This paper carries out a systematic literature review of publications between 2008 and 2016 which will be compared with a field study on Smart City initiatives conducted by the municipality of Enschede to develop a requirements framework for these projects. This research is relevant to governments and businesses aiming to create Smart Cities and for researchers, who aim to enhance the concept of Smart Cities. This paper found eight sub-domains within the topic of Smart Cities and these are: Technical Infrastructure, Application Domains, System Integration, Data Processing, Governance & Management, Society & Citizens, Business Domain and Environmental Sustainability. The eight sub-domains are respectively divided in two types: technological and non-technological domains. By firstly identifying the challenges and their solutions within these sub-domains, this paper proposes a requirements framework in combination with a checklist of questions to provide guidance for promoters to conduct future initiatives.

“…When community focus groups revealed collective concerns about obesity and physical inactivity, Project SMART was born. Modeled after KidsGoGreen (Gerosa et al, 2015;CLIMB, 2019), a game developed by another research group whose purpose was to change a family's sustainable mobility habits, Project SMART was intended to be both educational and health-enhancing. Project SMART's basic principle was to leverage the community relationships and learnings from the WCWH initiative to develop an online, cooperative game designed to use student PA as propulsion to travel across the virtual United States while unlocking learning modules aligned with educational standards.…”

Development of a School-Based Physical Activity Intervention Using an Integrated Approach: Project SMART

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Physical activity (PA) is a health-protective factor with multiple benefits for school-age children, yet only 22% of children and adolescents living in the United States (United States) accrue the recommended amount of moderate to vigorous PA. Given the prevalence of insufficient PA among children, promoting and providing PA opportunities during the school day, especially when integrated into the curriculum and linked to the learning standards, is essential for children. The purpose of this paper is to describe the procedure for the development of a school-based PA program using an integrated approach through the modified intervention mapping protocol (IMP). A total of 22 physical education teachers and 167 children from five different elementary schools were involved in the process. The procedure includes the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) that provides a theoretical framework that plays a vital role in motivating students to have a physically active lifestyle. This study applied SDT and IMP to develop and pilot a PA intervention called Project SMART using an integrative community participatory approach. As a pilot PA intervention, Project SMART is an online educational game where the students navigate a virtual journey across the United States A class’s aggregate PA propels the students on their journey, where standards-based modules are unlocked to achieve STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and social-emotional learning outcomes while gaining an understanding of the importance of health behaviors and opportunities to habitually engage in healthy decision-making with the support of their peers. Although initially labor intensive for the researchers, the process of tailoring the intervention to the children’s contextual and cultural needs has implications for all theoretically grounded and evidence-based PA interventions.
