What is the aim of the lecture and workshop in Week 4?
To develop a multi-aspectual understanding of types of human-machine collaboration for the enterprise.
Linked to ECA Part 1 & ECA Part 2 Assessment Criteria 1.
What are the intended learning outcomes for week 4?
Why do we need multi-aspectual understanding?
What do we mean by multi-aspectual understanding?
How can we develop such an understanding of human-machine collaboration?
Human Use of Digital Technologies
EIT : Engaging with Interface & Technology or HCI: Human-Computer Interaction.
EMC: Engaging with Meaningful Content or ERC: Engaging with Represented Content.
ELI : Engaging in Life with ICT (Information & Communication Technology) or HLC: Human Living with Computers.

Can Human-Machine Collaboration and Human Use of Digital Technologies be explained through Socio-Technical Approach?
12
13
Yes, we can take a Socio-Technical Approach and explain for Human-Machine collaboration and Human-Use of Emergent Technologies. But is that sufficient?
Can we explain everything through this approach?
14
Critical Research in Information Systems tell us that the social world is unjust and prevents individuals from living up to their potential.
Current social structures are problematic.
Walsham (2005), Stahl (2007)
15
Lee (2004)
In Socio-Technical Approach , Information has not been seen as important as social and technological factor!
16
We need to know a way to explain for the reality of Human Use of Emergent Technologies and Human-Machine Collaboration

Use Aspects to Analyse some of Digital Divide Issues
A simple example of Dooyeweerd’s philosophy application

| Aspects | Down-to-earth Issues? |
| Quantitative | Frequent of usage? For how long? |
| Spatial | At trusted public places or/and at home? |
| Kinematic | What is the internet speed like? |
| Physical | For elderly people, can they hold tablets, mobile, laptops in their hand? What happens if they drop it? |
| Biotic | Are we providing with having different age range in mind? |
| Psychic/Sensitive | Are we providing with having visually and hearing impaired people in mind? Is flashing red, blue, green light on Wi-Fi hub helping? |
| Analytic | Are they really clear about what to expect? Clear about internet package they receive? |
| Formative | Do they understand what they can achieve with internet? |
| Lingual | Can we translate a technical term for a lay person or we just say “don’t worry about it just press this button every time”? |
| Social | Do we have the right social skills on the front line (our digital champions) to connect with them and build the essential rapport? |
| Economic | Not paying for mobile phone plan means no hotspot to connect other devices? How much time is enough for assisting them? |
| Aesthetic | How the internet access is harmonised with the rest of their life? How is it made enjoyable for them? |
| Juridical | Do they know with a simple search they are exposed to number of opaque AI algorithm? How about Data Protection? Data Privacy? |
| Ethical | Do we know when and how we can donate our unused mobile data? |
| Pistic | Is giving internet access really for helping them? what is our real motivation? |
What other issues can you think of?

Aspects can help us with managing the diversity of things, a heterogeneous list.

Core Message: The aspects help to separate thing out without reducing one to another. In a real-life complex situation aspects help with bringing up things that are often taken for granted.
