“…Some terms were slightly modified to fit our research context. Since seven‐point Likert scales provide more choices which make it easier to use and can accurately measure a respondent’s true evaluation (Finstad, ; Joshi, Kale, Chandel, & Pal, ), seven‐point Likert scales were utilized for all items, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” Seven‐point Likert scales were used for all items, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” The scales for fulfillment of needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness were borrowed from Ke and Zhang (). The scale for intrinsic motivation was adapted from Ray et al ().…”

Although Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) attract millions of people to enroll in their courses, the completion rate for most courses is very low. A majority of MOOCs students are not fully engaged in MOOCs, thus leading them to quit in the early stage of the courses. Therefore, it is important to investigate students’ engagement in MOOCs. Drawing on self‐determination theory and the theory of relationship quality, this study proposes a model that conceptualizes the MOOCs engagement as consisting of psychological engagement and behavioral engagement and explores the antecedents of students’ engagement in MOOCs. The research model is tested using data collected from 374 students of Chinese University MOOC. The results show that fulfillment of three basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness have significant positive effects on intrinsic motivation, increasing students’ psychological engagement in MOOCs. Relationship quality significantly predicts students’ psychological engagement, and psychological engagement promotes behavioral engagement in MOOCs. Implications for research and practice as well as limitations of this study are discussed finally.

“…The scale was designed to measure the ease of use of each step of using the device. The subscales for usability were combined to create a composite score for usability [21,22]. The same process was followed to create an acceptability score.…”

Introduction: Since HIV testing in South African adolescents and young adults is sub-optimal, the objective of the current study was to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of an HIV rapid self-testing device in adolescents and young people at the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation Youth Centre and Mobile Clinic. Methods: Self-presenting adolescents and young adults were invited to participate in a study investigating the fidelity, usability and acceptability of the AtomoRapid HIV Rapid self-testing device. Trained healthcare workers trained participants to use the device before the participant conducted the HIV self-test with device usage instructions. The healthcare worker then conducted a questionnaire-based survey to assess outcomes. Results: Of the 224 enrolled participants between 16 and 24 years of age, 155 (69,2%) were female. Overall, fidelity was high; 216 (96,4%) participants correctly completed the test and correctly read and interpreted the HIV test result. There were eight (3,6%) user errors overall; six participants failed to prick their finger even though the lancet fired correctly. There were two user errors where participants failed to use the capillary tube correctly. Participants rated acceptability and usability highly, with debut testers giving significantly higher ratings for both. Younger participants gave significantly higher ratings of acceptability. Conclusions: Adolescents and young adults found HIV self-testing highly acceptable with the AtomoRapid and they used the device accurately. Further research should investigate how, where and when to deploy HIV self-testing as a means to accompany existing strategies in reaching the UNAIDS goal to test 90% of all individuals worldwide.

“…One part of the questionnaire had Likert scale statements, and the second part had open ended questions. Likert Scale is typically a five, seven, or nine point agreement scale used to measure respondents' agreement with a variety of statements (Pal & Joshi, 2015). Finally we performed an in depth interview.…”

This paper explores the benefits of using A3 Architecture Overviews (A3AO) as a tool for project management and interdisciplinary knowledge sharing in a development project. The goal of the development project was to create an autonomous subsea inspection systems for the oil and gas industry. Sharing of implicit system knowledge early in the systems life cycle is a challenge, yet important for successful development of new technology. Through expert interviews and reverse architecting we made A3AO for two new system that were sequential steps into a fully autonomous solution. Through the research we applied these overviews in meetings with HSEQ, finance, senior management, and engineering. The immediate responses were positive, with comments like, “now I understand what we are trying to achieve”, and “Can I please include the A3AO in my document for the management?” Project personnel, with limited system knowledge, quickly got an enhanced understanding of the project goals by viewing the A3AO. We also experienced that senior management used the illustrative tool as a supplement to support a business case for the board of directors. Clients were happy to see models and schematics as a supplement to textural documents when being presented with new technology. Inclusion of industry terminology and support from management would enhance adoption of A3AO within the oil and gas industry. Overall, our research strongly supports the use of A3 Architectural Overviews as a project management tool when developing new complex systems.
