Using Gamification and Mixed Reality Visualization to Improve Conceptual Understanding in ICT System Analysis and Design

“…Similarly, we use the term "non-indigenous" as a global term to denote the broad mix of people, significantly of European-descent, living within these nations. The term "digital learning designer" is used here to link the role of tertiary-sector designers to a broader, multidisciplinary community of designers exploring design problems and "design for design empowerment" via technology-mediated solutions (Vardouli, 2015, in Bihanic, 2015. This includes a community of designers working digitally across the public sector as well as private sector service and product industries.…”

“…We position this work within wider explorations about what a typically euro-centric, culturally positioned space might look like, were digital designers' roles refined and reimagined. We argue that what is required is a culturally mediated and defined conceptual space firmly situating the role of being and becoming a digital designer within the theoretical frames of positionality (Merriam et al, 2001), design for empowerment (Vardouli, 2015, in Bihanic, 2015) and reflexivity (Bourdieu, 1997).…”

“…• Ways in which non-indigenous beliefs/practices around communication are the same/different from indigenous communication beliefs/practices (Orbe, 1996). • Individual perceptions about the role of a designer (Bihanic, 2015).…”

On the role of 'digital learning designer' for non-indigenous designers collaborating within culturally grounded digital design settings

“…As Smith notes, we acknowledge that the -authors of this paper we use this term to broaden the discussion beyond communities given that the issues are likely to be relevant among designers who are also working within other indigenous cultures and nations. Similarly, we use the term m to denote the broad mix of people, significantly of European-descent, living -sector designers to a broader, multidisciplinary community of designers expl -mediated solutions (Vardouli, 2015, in Bihanic, 2015.
