Si può fare, grazie a un metodo sviluppato all’Università della Svizzera italiana. Si chiama URL, come gli indirizzi internet, e significa <em>User Requirements with Lego®</em>. URL aiuta a definire i requisiti della comunicazione online e rinforza l’affiatamento del team di progetto. URL è basato su Lego® Serious Play®, una metodologia per le aziende, e unisce il reale – i famosi mattoncini di plastica – con il virtuale: la comunicazione online.</strong></p>
<p><em>URL: User Requirements with Lego®</em>, è una metodologia che aiuta nella definizione dei requisiti per le applicazioni di comunicazione online e permette di rinforzare l’affiatamento del team di progetto.</p>
<p>URL è basata su Lego® Serious Play®, una metodologia professionale che stimola il pensiero creativo e permette di consolidare l’identità aziendale, sviluppata alla metà degli anni Novanta alla business school IMD di Losanna, in Svizzera. Da allora, Lego® Serious Play® si è diffuso in tutto il mondo grazie a una rete di consulenti certificati. E ancora dalla Svizzera, arriva oggi <em>URL: User Requirements with Lego®</em>, un nuovo modulo che arricchisce Lego® Serious Play®.</p>
<p>La metodologia URL  è stata sviluppata da due laboratori della Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell’Università della Svizzera italiana. Il primo è il webatelier.net, un laboratorio di ricerca e sviluppo dedicato alla comunicazione online, in particolare nel turismo, ponendo l’accento sulla crescita personale e la ricerca di significato nell’esperienza turistica (eTourism). Il secondo è il New Media in Education Laboratory (NewMinE Lab), un laboratorio di ricerca e sviluppo che esplora le innovazioni dei media digitali in tutti i campi dell’educazione, nell’eLearning e nello sviluppo internazionale (ICT4D). La metodologia <em>URL: User Requirements with Lego®</em> è stata sviluppata dai ricercatori dell’Università della Svizzera italiana in collaborazione con trivioquadrivio, una società di consulenza azienda di Milano, e Kharta, un’azienda informatica di Carpi (Modena).</p>
<p><strong>Una guida è a disposizione di consulenti in comunicazione, agenzie web e dipartimenti di comunicazione, per imparare cos’è URL, come e perché usarlo. La guida (in inglese) è disponibile gratuitamente presso: <a href="http://www.webatelier.net/url">www.webatelier.net/url</a> </strong></p>

<p>Cantoni L., Faré M., Inversini A., Passini V. (2011). <strong>Hotel Websites and Booking Engines: A Challenging Relationship</strong>.   in Rob Law, Matthias Fuchs &amp; Francesco Ricci (eds.), Information   and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2011 (Proceedings of the   International Conference in Innsbruck, Austria, January 26-28, 2011),   Springer, Wien – New York 2011, pp. 241-252.</p>
<p>Abstract:</p>
<blockquote><p>This  study analyzes the relationship between hotel corporate websites and  hotel corporate booking engines. This two systems are critical for the  hospitality sector: hotel website is a very important mean for online  hospitality marketing, while hotel booking engine represent the  possibility of conversion without intermediation fees for the hoteliers.  Often these two systems are managed by different companies on different  web servers and they do not share information about website’s visitors  and booking conversions. Thanks to a case study on one of the major  Italian hotel chain, this paper explores a possible way to analyze the  activities performed on the two systems exploring different possible  correlations to assess the importance of the inter-system communication.</p></blockquote>

<p>Sul numero di <a href="http://www.azione.ch/" target="_blank">Azione</a> della scorsa settimana, Federico Rampini racconta della forza con cui gli USA sono in grado di reagire alla crisi (alle crisi). <em>Never waste a good crisis</em> è il grido di battaglia. L’amministrazione Obama, secondo Rampini, guida con decisione la nazione in questi tempi difficili (ma cela alcuni interessi inquietanti, secondo <a href="http://blog.ilgiornale.it/foa/2009/05/17/bastano-una-lobby-e-370-milioni-di-dollari-per-rovinare-il-mondo/" target="_blank">Marcello Foa</a>). L’ambiente accademico ha un ruolo di primo piano: è da qui che possono e devono arrivare innovazioni e idee per superare le difficoltà. Il sistema universitario americano è ricco di risorse perché è in grado di attirare le migliori menti al mondo, nonostante la concorrenza delle istituzioni europee e dei Paesi emergenti, in particolare Cina e India.</p>
<p>Ma il sistema universitario americano è vincente perché, secondo Rampini, accetta e sostiene il conflitto:</p>
<blockquote><p>per avere un «ecosistema dell’innovazione» non basta investire capitali, finanziare le università, acquistare le migliori apparecchiature del mondo. La vera innovazione fiorisce negli ambienti che accettano il conflitto d’idee, premiano l’anticonformismo, incoraggiano il dissenso, il «pensare diverso». Dalla matematica alla fisica, dalla biologia alla chimica, i cervelli migliori sono spesso culturalmente anarchici, trasgressivi, esplorano vie traverse, si discostano dalle verità ricevute. I sistemi politici autoritari come quello cinese, altre società conservatrici dominate dai clan e dalle clientele, non sono ambienti favorevoli al fiorire delle rivoluzioni tecnologiche.</p></blockquote>
<p>Una lezione da tenere presente.</p>

Un'ottima occasione per cambiare punto di vista da parte di noi ricercatore, troppo spesso entusiasti dell'oggetto dei nostri studi.]</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/maurer" target="_blank">Hermann Maurer</a> is a computer scientist, professor in Graz (Austria). He spoke in a seminar at the University of Lugano, last week.</p>
<p>The main theme was e-learning, but I did not attend that part.</p>
<p>I attended the one hour speech of the afternoon, where he spoke about Google and other issue on culture and internet.</p>
<p>Internet, mainly Google and Wikipedia, are really changing things. We, researchers in online communication, too often think that things are improving, thanks to the internet. Sometimes it&#8217;s good to gain another point of view.</p>
<p>Maurer thinks that Google is a threats in three areas:</p>
<ol>
<li>privacy: Google knows lot about you, even if you do not use any of his services (300.000 more popular websites do use Google Analytics, therefore Google knows surfing habits of lot of people). <strong>Update </strong>20080605: <a title="one third" href="http://royal.pingdom.com/?p=300" target="_blank">one third of the top 500 websites</a> in the world uses Analytics.</li>
<li>culture: Google promotes the snippet culture and can decide who is in and who is out</li>
<li>economics: Google foresees the future, because knows lot of things, and can modify trade.</li>
</ol>
<p>In fact, I&#8217;d like to add that in my opinion, no one (entity or person) in human history has ever had the same amount of information that Google has today.</p>
<p>On future, Maurer said lot of interesting things on energy. He thinks that the only way to survive, for humankind, is to go in space.</p>
