Many technical aids were originally developed for disabled people with reduced muscle strength, for example mixer taps operated with one hand.
Mange tekniske hjelpemidler ble i sin tid utviklet for handikappede med nedsatt muskelkraft, for eksempel enhånds blandebatterier.
Today, they are used by everyone, which shows that good solutions for the few can often be useful to everyone.
De brukes i dag av alle, og viser at gode løsninger for de få, ofte er nyttige for alle.
Pseudo-democracy
Skinndemokrati
The authorities have involved organisations for elderly and disabled in the planning process in order to ensure good solutions.
For å sikre gode løsninger har myndighetene trukket brukerorganisasjonene inn i planleggingsprosessen.
This nevertheless appears to be a pseudo-democracy, because the users have no real influence on the subsequent process:
Likevel framstår dette ofte som et skinndemokrati, fordi brukerne ikke har reell innflytelse i den videre prosessen:
‘It often ends up as a consultative bureaucracy, or “consultocracy,”’ said English Professor Rob Imri at the conference.
– Det ender ofte i et konsultativt byråkrati, eller «consultocracy», sa den engelske professoren Rob Imri på konferansen.

One of the summer school 2017's new courses was a ‘big data’ analytics course, which is becoming an important area of competence.
Høyaktuelt sommeren 2017 var et kurs i «Big Data»-analyse, som nå er i ferd med å bli et viktig kompetanseområde.
‘In ICT, but also in many other fields, big data is a very relevant tool for analysing data to acquire insights,’ says Associate Professor Aiko Yamashita, who taught the course at the HiOA International Summer School.
– Ikke bare innen IKT, men også i mange andre fag er «big data» svært aktuelt å bruke i analyse av data, forteller førsteamanuensis Aiko Yamashita, som holdt kurset på HiOA International Summer School.
She says that the course was a great success due to the students’ enthusiasm and the diversity of perspectives that comes from having students from very different countries, such as China, Mozambique, Ghana, the USA, Belgium and Norway.
Hun kan fortelle at kurset var en stor suksess, fordi studentene var veldig engasjerte og hadde med impulser fra Kina, Mosambik, Ghana, USA, Belgia og Norge.
An international environment provides different perspectives
Internasjonalt miljø gir ulike perspektiver
‘What are the academic advantages of an international environment?’
– Hvilke faglige fordeler kan et internasjonalt miljø ha?
‘Different social, cultural, and economic backgrounds provide different perspectives on the assignments.’
– Ulik sosial og økonomisk bakgrunn gir ulike perspektiver på oppgavene.
‘One fun example is one of the challenges presented to the students: They were asked to suggest a problem that could be solved using big data analytics, thereby improving the world.’
– Et morsomt eksempel er en utfordring studentene fikk: De skulle foreslå et problem som kunne løses med «Big Data»-analyse, og dermed gjøre verden bedre.
While the students with backgrounds from finance or technology would struggle to come up with clear-cut, relevant suggestions, a girl from Mozambique had a good idea: What if we create a model that can predict tuberculosis risk based on symptoms, so that the clinics can prioritise tuberculosis tests?
Det viste seg at studentene med finans- eller teknologibakgrunn ikke hadde relevante forslag, men en jente fra Mosambik hadde en god idé: Hva om vi lager en modell som kan forutse tuberkuloserisiko basert på symptomer, slik at klinikkene kan prioritere tuberkulosetester?
Mozambique has limited access to tests, and they need to know which patients are at high risk of a type of tuberculosis, so that they can prioritise tests for these patients.
Mosambik har begrenset tilgang til tester, og de må vite hvilke pasienter som har høy risiko for en type tuberkulose, slik at de kan prioritere testene til dem.
The other students immediately responded positively to the idea.
De andre studentene reagerte umiddelbart på positivt idéen.
‘This is a good example of how an international mix of students can have positive effects,’ says Aiko.
– Dette er et fint eksempel på at en internasjonal miks av studentene kan ha positiv virkning, synes Aiko.
‘In international environments you become more aware of the situation in other countries, and of how technology can be used to solve different problems.’
– I internasjonale miljø blir du mer oppmerksom på situasjonen i andre land, og på hvordan teknologi kan brukes til å løse forskjellige problemer.
Social activities and high spirits
Sosiale aktiviteter løftet stemningen
Besides focusing on specific subjects, the summer school also aims to create a good social environment.
Foruten å fokusere på spesifikke temaer, har sommerskolen satset på at det blir et godt sosialt miljø.
Volunteer IT students from HiOA, recruited by Associate Professor Anthony Giannoumis, were responsible for the social activities and making sure to support the students and to create a good atmosphere.
Frivillige IT-studenter på HiOA, som førsteamanuensis Anthony Giannoumis hadde fått med, arrangerte forskjellige sosiale aktiviteter, og bidro til at det ble god stemning.
Of these, six–seven students were very active and formed a core group.
Av disse har seks - sju gode studenter vært veldig aktive, og har utgjort en kjernegruppe på kurset.
‘What were the admission requirements?’
– Hva slags opptakskrav var det?
‘The admission requirements posed a bit of a challenge, because we wanted to be as open as possible.
– Opptakskravene var en utfordring, fordi vi ønsket å være så åpne som mulig.
However, some basic mathematic skills and some programming knowledge are required.
Det trengs imidlertid grunnleggende mattekunnskaper og noe programmeringskunnskaper.
This time, we didn’t have enough resources to offer an introduction to programming, and the students’ programming skills varied.’
– Denne gangen hadde vi ikke nok ressurser til å tilby en introduksjon til programmering, og programmeringskunnskapene til studentene var ujevne.
Motivated students
Motiverte studenter
‘We had to build competence as we went along, but the students were up for the challenge.’
– Vi måtte bygge opp kompetanse underveis, men studentene tok utfordringen.
‘For example, we had a mechanical engineering student, he was very skilled at solving problems.
– Vi hadde for eksempel en maskiningeniørstudent (mekanisk ingeniør) som gikk inn og løste problemer.
We also had a student with a background from finance at BI Norwegian Business School, who had done very little programming before, but who was very capable and simply threw himself into coding.’
Vi hadde også en student med bakgrunn i finans fra BI, som aldri hadde programmert, men som var veldig flink og gikk inn og kodet.
‘Are the students highly motivated to participate when they come from another country, perhaps very far away from Norway?’
– Har studentene god motivasjon for å delta når de kommer fra et annet land, kanskje langt borte fra Norge?
‘Absolutely.
– Absolutt.
‘Is it expensive for the students visiting from some of the poorer countries?’
– Blir det dyrt for dem som kommer fra fattige land?
‘The Mozambican students’ expenses were covered by a student exchange programme, and some students had backing from the USA and Canada.
– Studentene fra Mosambik ble dekket av et studentutvekslingsprogram, og noen studenter kom med ressurser fra USA og Canada.
At NOK 1,000, the summer school itself wasn't that expensive.’
De måtte uansett ikke betale så mye for selve sommerskolen; som kostet 1000 kroner.
Innovative boost for HiOA
Innovativt for HiOA
‘ How can the summer school benefit HiOA?’
– Hvordan kan sommerskolen være nyttig for HiOA?
‘I think it’s a good way of getting to experiment with different methods – a very good innovation instrument.’
– Jeg tror det er en fin måte å få eksperimentere med forskjellige metoder, et veldig fint innovasjonsinstrument.
‘We used many tools we normally don't use in an educational setting, for example the interactive programming website Jupyter Notebook.
– Vi har tatt i bruk mye vi vanligvis ikke bruker i en læringssetting, for eksempel interaktive nettsider i programmering, Jupyter Notebook.
Testing different approaches proved to be very useful for teaching endeavours at HiOA.’
Det kan være nyttig for undervisningen på HiOA å prøve ut forskjellige ting.
‘But we also want to show that HiOA is an institution that welcomes internationalisation and international education.’
– Men vi vil også vise HiOA som en institusjon som ønsker internasjonalisering og internasjonal utdanning velkommen.
HiOA’s openness and flexibility attract international students
Attraktivt at HiOA er åpen og fleksibel
‘HiOA is open and flexible, making it a very attractive choice for international students.’
– Høgskolen er åpen og fleksibel, og det gjør det veldig attraktivt for de internasjonale studentene.
Two Norwegian students also attended the summer’s big data course.
To norske studenter var også med på sommerens ”Big Data”-kurs.
They have lived in Norway all their lives, but also have another cultural background.
De har bodd i Norge hele sitt liv, men har også en annen kulturell bakgrunn.
The lecturers are also international.
Foreleserne er dessuten internasjonale.
‘I'm from Japan and Costa Rica, and was educated in Costa Rica, Sweden and Norway.
– Selv er jeg fra Japan og Costa Rica, og er utdannet i Costa Rica, Sverige og Norge.
We had a French lecturer who came all the way from Chile to Norway for free to teach a module on data visualisation.’
Vi har hatt en fransk foreleser, og en som helt gratis har kommet hele veien fra Chile til Norge for å forelese i en modul om datavisualisering.
‘We also had a lecturer from Germany, and a Ukrainian researcher working at Simula.’
– Vi har også hatt med en foreleser fra Tyskland, og en ukrainsk forsker som jobber i Simula.
‘If we can get some more resources for the summer school next year, we can get a lot more out of the big data course.’
– Hvis vi får litt mer ressurser til sommerskolen neste år, kan vi gjøre mye mer med ”Big Data”-kurset.
‘We lack big data expertise in the engineering subjects at HiOA, as well as in other subjects where data analytics can be used to gain insight.
– Vi mangler kompetanse i ”Big Data” i ingeniørfag på HiOA, og i andre fag hvor dataanalyse kan brukes til å få innsikt.
We’re trying to fill a gap, and the summer school has a lot of potential in that regard,’ says Aiko Yamashita.
Vi prøver å fylle et gap, og da er sommerskolen en mulighet, sier Aiko Yamashita.
HiOA International Summer School lasts around one month.
HiOA International Summer School varer rundt en måned.
That gives the students time for a little summer holiday as well.
Dermed får studentene tid til litt sommerferie, også.
The summer school also aims to create a good social environment.

- What happened in Orlando naturally makes me think about those directly affected by these cruel actions, but also the American students and staff members at HiOA.
– Det som skjedde i Orlando får meg til selvsagt til å tenke på de som er direkte rammet av de grusomme handlingene, men også på våre amerikanske studenter og tilsatte her ved HiOA.
And everyone working with LGBT rights, says Rector Curt Rice.
Og på alle som jobber for LHBTI-rettigheter, sier rektor Curt Rice.
- As an American myself, I am affected both by the tragedy of another mass murder and the fact that it is directed towards the LGBT community.
– Som amerikaner kjenner jeg selv på dette, både tragedien av enda et massedrap, og at det rettes mot LHBTI-samfunnet.
HiOA is proud to promote diversity in society and this becomes even more important on a day like this.
HiOA skal være stolte av å fremme mangfold i samfunnet, og det blir enda viktigere på en slik dag.

'The functions are very useful for the old and disabled, and Griff also helps other user groups in other situations in which it is difficult to unlock the door.
– Funksjonene er svært nyttige for eldre og funksjonshemmede, og Griff hjelper også andre brukergrupper i andre situasjoner der det er utfordrende å låse opp døren.
'We have emphasised that Griff should not look like an aid,' says product design student Andrea Lindberg.
– Vi har lagt vekt på at Griff ikke skal se så hjelpemiddelaktig ut, sier produktdesignstudent Andrea Lindberg.
Second HiOA victory in three years
Andre HiOA-seier på tre år
Together with her fellow student Kristian Hynne (21) from Kodal in Vestfold, the 22-year-old from Fredrikstad was awarded the Design for All prize in the national Young Talents Award design competition.
Sammen med medstudent Kristian Hynne (21) fra Kodal i Vestfold har 22-åringen fra Fredrikstad vunnet Design for alle-prisen i den nasjonale designkonkurransen Unge talenter.
The second-year students came up with the concept, which they have named 'Griff' last autumn, while attending the course Human Factors and Function – Product and Methods.
Konseptet som andreårsstudentene har kalt «Griff», ble til under studieemnet Menneske og funksjon, produkt og metode i høst.
The course focuses on sustainability and inclusive design.
Emnet har fokus på bærekraft og inkluderende design.
This is the second time in three years that a student project from this course at the Department of Product Design at HiOA has been awarded the Design for All prize.
Det er andre gangen på tre år at et studentprosjekt fra dette emnet ved Institutt for produktdesign på HiOA vinner Design for alle-prisen.
