Innovation is a crucial force underlying the organizational and societal ability to survive and thrive in crisis times, especially in education. However, not all challenges require creating novel solutions; occasionally, combining pre-existing solutions—an approach known as the mashup methodology—can provide equal benefit. Nevertheless, this approach appears to be relatively unknown. In the current case study, we provide an example of using a mashup of technologies to solve the challenge of running a remote virtual hackathon under COVID-19 social distancing regulations. Additionally, we argue that utilizing the mashup is a form of modeling, in which students learn by witnessing its use. Utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model, we show that by modeling the use of the mashup methodology in this hackathon (Study 1—case), we managed to improve students’ attitudes towards the method and increase its perceived usefulness and ease of use in their eyes. This, in turn, raised their intention to use it as an innovation tool in the future. Study 2 revealed that this effect on participants’ intentions is more significant than what would be achieved by merely teaching people about the methodology. The results of these studies add to the growing literature emphasizing the importance of using digital innovations as means of improving the quality of education, thus increasing the satisfaction and well-being of students.

危机时期的数字创新:混搭如何提高教育质量

创新是组织和社会能力在危机时期生存和发展的关键力量,尤其是在教育领域。然而,并非所有挑战都需要创造新的解决方案。有时,结合预先存在的解决方案——一种称为混搭方法的方法——可以提供同样的好处。然而,这种方法似乎相对不为人知。在当前的案例研究中,我们提供了一个使用混搭技术来解决在 COVID-19 社交距离法规下运行远程虚拟黑客马拉松的挑战的示例。此外,我们认为使用 mashup 是一种建模形式,学生通过见证它的使用来学习。利用技术接受模型,我们表明,通过在本次黑客马拉松(研究 1-案例)中对混搭方法的使用进行建模,我们设法改善了学生对该方法的态度,并在他们眼中增加了它的有用性和易用性。这反过来又提高了他们未来将其用作创新工具的意图。研究 2 表明,这种对参与者意图的影响比仅通过向人们传授方法论所达到的效果更显着。这些研究的结果增加了越来越多的文献,强调使用数字创新作为提高教育质量的手段的重要性,从而提高学生的满意度和幸福感。研究 2 表明,这种对参与者意图的影响比仅通过向人们传授方法论所达到的效果更显着。这些研究的结果增加了越来越多的文献,强调使用数字创新作为提高教育质量的手段的重要性,从而提高学生的满意度和幸福感。研究 2 表明,这种对参与者意图的影响比仅通过向人们传授方法论所达到的效果更显着。这些研究的结果增加了越来越多的文献,强调使用数字创新作为提高教育质量的手段的重要性,从而提高学生的满意度和幸福感。
