Digital wellbeing is a term used by health professionals, researchers and device manufacturers to
describe the concept that when humans interact with technology, the experience should support mental
and/or physical health in a measurable way. The goal of improving digital wellbeing is to design
technology in such a way that it promotes healthy use and proactively assists the user to maintain a
healthy lifestyle.
As a response to a call for apps and technology that respect a person's time, some companies developed
features that are less disruptive or added the ability to turn off distracting notifications. In addition,
companies created new apps that track digital wellbeing keep record of things like amount of screen
time spent on different apps. They help the user to lower undesired types of screen time, or to be more
deliberate about how technology is used.
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term “digital wellbeing”? For some it
might be email overload, fake news, fitness tracker bands or the Google app that lets you “see a
complete picture of your digital habits and disconnect when you want to”. There are many
connotations, bringing both positive and negative aspects of technology and how it affects our lives.
• The capacity to look after personal health, safety, relationships and work life balance in digital
settings to use digital tools in pursuit of personal goals (example . health and fitness) and to
participate in social and community activities to act safely and responsibly in digital environments
to negotiate and resolve conflict to manage digital workload, overload and distraction to act with
concern for the human and natural environment when using digital tools. An understanding of the
benefits and risks of digital participation in relation to health and wellbeing outcomes.

Explained a breakdown structure
initiation -The project initiation phase is the first phase within the project management life cycle, as it
involves starting up a new project. Main project requirements. A summarized plan for implementation
that includes a schedule and financial analysis.
Project chart - A Gantt chart is a project management tool assisting in the planning and scheduling of
projects of all sizes, although they are particularly useful for simplifying complex projects. Project
management timelines and tasks are converted into a horizontal bar chart, showing start and end dates,
as well as dependencies, scheduling and deadlines, including how much of the task is completed per
stage and who is the task owner. This is useful to keep tasks on track when there is a large team and
multiple stakeholders when the scope changes
Research -Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge
in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings. This
definition of research encompasses pure and strategic basic research, applied research and experimental
development.
Stakeholders -In a project, there are both internal and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders may
include top management, project team members, manager, peers, resource manager, and internal
customers. External stakeholders may include external customers, government, contractors and
subcontractors, and suppliers.
Planning -The planning phase is when the project plans are documented, the project deliverables and
requirements are defined, and the project schedule is created. It involves creating a set of plans to help
guide your team through the implementation and closure phases of the project.
Scope goal setting -Typically written by the project manager, a scope statement outlines the entire
project, including any deliverables and their features, as well as a list of stakeholders who will be
affected. It will also include any major project objectives, deliverables and goals to help measure
success
10 | P a g e
budget -A project budget is the total projected costs needed to complete a project over a defined period
of time. It’s used to estimate what the costs of the project will be for every phase of the project. The
project budget will include such things as labor costs, material procurement costs and operating cost
communication plan -A project management communication plan identifies how important information
will be communicated to stakeholders throughout the project. It also determines who will be receiving the
communication, how those people will receive it, when they'll receive it, and how often they should expect
to receive that information.
risk management-risk management refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance,
analyzing them and taking precautionary steps to reduce/curb the risk.
Project Execution Plan -A Project Execution Plan is much more than a chart showing timescales. It is a
document describing how, when and by whom a specific target or set of targets is to be achieved. These
targets will include the project's products, timescales, costs, quality and benefits.
project status-A project status report is a way to convey the current status of, well, project. A status report
is an important communication tool used by Producers and Project Managers to keep clients, team
members, and stakeholders up to date
Project update .-Project status reports are timely updates (we'll discuss how often should be doing them
later) on the progress of your projects. They answer the questions everyone seems to be asking (before they
actually ask them). Written concisely, they offer high-level information about a project, rather than every
detail.
Project Monitoring-Project Monitoring refers to the process of keeping track of all project-related metrics
including team performance and task duration, identifying potential problems and taking corrective actions
necessary to ensure that the project is within scope, on budget and meets the specified deadlines.
Chart update -a Gantt chart is a visual view of tasks scheduled over time. Gantt charts are used for
planning projects of all sizes and they are a useful way of showing what work is scheduled to be done on a
specific day. They also help you view the start and end dates of a project in one simple view.
11 | P a g e
Goals and objectives-Goals and objectives are statements that describe what the project will accomplish,
or the business value the project will achieve. Goals are high level statements that provide overall context
for what the project is trying to achieve, and should align to business goals.
Quality deliverables-The term deliverables is a project management term that's traditionally used to
describe the quantifiable goods or services that must be provided upon the completion of a project.
Deliverables can be tangible or intangible in nature
Effort-In project management, level of effort (LOE) is a support-type project activity that must be done to
support other work activities or the entire project effort. It usually consists of short amounts of work that
must be repeated periodically.
Task 2
Quantitative and Qualitative research methods
It is important to recognize that systematic observation and testing can be accomplished using a wide
variety of methods. Many people think of scientific inquiry strictly in terms of laboratory
experimentation. However, it is neither possible nor desirable to study all phenomena of interest under
controlled laboratory conditions.
The design of any study begins with the selection of a topic and a research methodology. These initial
decisions reflect assumptions about the social world, how science should be conducted, and what
constitutes legitimate problems, solutions, and criteria of “proof.” Different approaches to research
encompass both theory and method. Two general approaches are widely recognized: quantitative
research and qualitative research.
Quantitative research is an inquiry into an identified problem, based on testing a theory, measured with
numbers, and analyzed using statistical techniques. The goal of quantitative methods is to determine
whether the predictive generalizations of a theory hold true.
By contrast, a study based upon a qualitative process of inquiry has the goal of understanding a social
or human problem from multiple perspectives. Qualitative research is conducted in a natural setting and
involves a process of building a complex and holistic picture of the phenomenon of interest.
12 | P a g e
The selection of which research approach is appropriate in a given study should be based upon the
problem of interest, resources available, the skills and training of the researcher, and the audience for
the research. Although some research may incorporate both quantitative and qualitative methodologies,
in their ‘pure’ form there are significant differences in the assumptions underlying these approaches, as
well as in the data collection and analysis procedures used
It is important to be able to identify and understand the research approach underlying any given
study because the selection of a research approach influences the questions asked, the methods
chosen, the statistical analyses used, the inferences made, and the ultimate goal of the research.
When critically reviewing scientific research, the questions asked, and the answers given, will
differ depending upon whether the research is quantitative or qualitative.
Quantitative Methods
Assumptions Underlying Quantitative Methods
reality is objective, “out there,” and independent of the researcher – therefore reality is
something that can be studied objectively;
the researcher should remain distant and independent of what is being researched;
the values of the researcher do not interfere with, or become part of, the research – research
is value-free; & research is based primarily on deductive forms of logic and theories and
hypotheses are tested in a cause-effect order; and
the goal is to develop generalizations that contribute to theory that enable the researcher
to predict, explain, and understand some phenomenon.
13 | P a g e
Three general types of quantitative methods:
Experiments – True experiments are characterized by random assignment of subjects
to experimental conditions and the use of experimental controls.
Quasi-Experiments – Quasi-experimental studies share almost all the features of
experimental designs except that they involve non-randomized assignment of subjects to
experimental conditions.
Surveys – Surveys include cross-sectional and longitudinal studies using questionnaires or
interviews for data collection with the intent of estimating the characteristics of a large
population of interest based on a smaller sample from that population.
Qualitative Methods
Assumptions Underlying Qualitative Methods
multiple realities exist in any given situation – the researcher’s, those of the individuals being
investigated, and the reader or audience interpreting the results; these multiple perspectives, or
voices, of informants (i.e., subjects) are included in the study;
the researcher interacts with those he studies and actively works to minimize the distance
between the researcher and those being researched;
the researcher explicitly recognizes and acknowledges the value-laden nature of the research;
research is context-bound;
research is based on inductive forms of logic; categories of interest emerge from informants
(subjects), rather than being identified a priori by the researcher;
the goal is to uncover and discover patterns or theories that help explain a phenomenon of
interest; and
determinations of accuracy involve verifying the information with informants or “triangulating”
among different sources of information (e.g., collecting information from different sources).
14 | P a g e
Three general types of qualitative methods
Case Studies – In a case study the researcher explores a single entity or phenomenon (‘the
case’) bounded by time and activity (e.g., a program, event, institution, or social group) and
collects detailed information through a variety of data collection procedures over a sustained
period of time. The case study is a descriptive record of an individual’s experiences and/or
behaviors kept by an outside observer.
Ethnographic Studies – In ethnographic research the researcher studies an intact cultural group
in a natural setting over a specific period of time. A cultural group can be any group of
individuals who share a common social experience, location, or other social characteristic of
interest – this could range from an ethnographic study of rape victims in crisis shelters, to
children in foster care, to a study of a cultural group in Africa.
15 | P a g e
Difference between qualitative and quantitative
Qualitative Research
Quantitative Research
Quantitative Research is used to quantify the problem by way of generating numerical data or data that
can be transformed into usable statistics. It is used to quantify attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and other
defined variables – and generalize results from a larger sample population. Quantitative Research uses
measurable data to formulate facts and uncover patterns in research. Quantitative data collection
methods are much more structured than Qualitative data collection methods. Quantitative data
collection methods include various forms of surveys online surveys, paper surveys, mobile surveys and
kiosk surveys, face to face interviews, telephone interviews, longitudinal studies, website interceptors,
online polls, and systematic observations.
16 | P a g e
Different techniques used for conducting research
Quantitative research method Qualitative research method
Interview session Questionnaire
These data are useful to obtain detailed These data are relatively easy and
information about personal feelings personal straightforward to analyst
and opinions
These sort of method all more detailed In this method a large sample can be
questions to be asked contacted at relatively low cost
These method usually achieve a high response This short of a method is simple and quick for
rate the respondent to complete and respondents
have time to think about their answers
Here the analysis only gathers the respondents These information or data is collected in a
own words standardized way
In this method the ambiguities can be The format is familiar to most
clarified and incomplete word followed up respondents(accuracy can be high )
They can be used for sensitive topics which
users may fell uncomfortable speaking to an
interviewer about
Talking with people is a good way to get information during the initial stages of a research project. It
can be used to gather information that is not publicly available, or that is too new to be found in the
literature. Examples might include meetings with prospects, customers, suppliers, and other types of
business conversations at trade shows, seminars, and association meetings. Although often valuable,
The formation has questionable validity because it is highly subjective and might not be representative
of the population
17 | P a g e
A focus group is used as a preliminary research technique to explore people’s ideas and attitudes. It is
often used to test new approaches (such as products or advertising), and to discover customer concerns.
A group of 6 to 20 people meet in a conference-room-like setting with a trained moderator The room
usually contains a one-way mirror for viewing including audio and video capabilities The moderator
leads the group’s discussion and keeps the focus on the areas you want to explore. Focus groups can be
conducted within a couple of weeks and cost between two and three thousand dollars Their
disadvantage that the sample is small and may not be representative of the population in general
Personal interviews are a way to get in-depth and comprehensive information. They involve one person
interviewing another person for personal or detailed information Personal interviews are very
expensive because of the one-to-one nature of the interview (550+ per interview). Typically, an
interviewer will ask questions from a written questionnaire and record the answers verbatim.
Sometimes, the questionnaire is simply a list of topics that the research wants to discuss with an
industry expert. Personal interviews because of their expense) are generally used only when subjects
are not likely to respond to other survey methods
Telephone surveys are the fastest method of gathering information from a relatively large sample (100-
400 respondents). The interviewer follows a prepared script that is essentially the same as a written
questionnaire, However, unlike a mail survey, the telephone survey allows the opportunity for some
opinion probing. Telephone surveys generally last less than ten minutes. Typical costs are between four
and six thousand dollars, and they can be completed in two to four weeks.
Mail surveys are a cost effective method of gathering information. They are ideal for large sample
sizes, or when the sample comes from a wide geographic area. They cost a little less than telephone
interviews, however, they take over twice as long to complete (eight to twelve weeks). Because there is
no interviewer, there is no possibility of interviewer bias. The main disadvantage is the inability to
probe respondents for more detailed information.
18 | P a g e
Email and internet surveys are relatively new and little is known about the effect of sampling bus in
internet surveys. While it is clearly the most cost effective and fastest method of distributing a survey,
the demographic profile of the internet user
does not represent the general population, although this is changing Before doing an email or internet
survey, carefully facing the effect that this bias might have on the results.
19 | P a g e
Project Management Process
The project management processes define “what to do when” in a project. There are several activities
from the initiation until the closure of a project. Each of these activities has a sequential order as well.
For instance, can you purchase a tool that will be used in a project before the initiation of the project?
Naturally, the answer is negative. Can you assign the resources of the project before completing the
project plan? The answer is again the same. Therefore, the activities which will be done and the steps
which will be completed are all defined in an organized and structured manner. And this is done with
the help of the project management processes.
Initiating Process Group Activities: These activities mainly help to initiate a project.
Planning Process Group Activities: These activities ensure proper planning of the project.
Executing Process Group Activities: These activities help in managing the project work and help in
producing the work or deliverables of the project.
Monitoring & Controlling Process Group Activities: These activities help the successful progression of
projects. Monitoring and controlling activities check whether the project goes as planned, whether there
are deviations from the expected results. If there are deviations, project management aims to correct the
variances to meet the project objectives.
Closing Process Group Activities: These activities help to finalize project activities, document closing
paperwork and complete the project successfully.
The five process groups comprise a project’s life-cycle, from beginning to completion.
1. INITIATION
This is the first phase of the project process. During initiation, work with a client brief and brainstorm
ideas, define the project, define the project’s goals, and set up the specifications and parameters of the
project.
2. PLANNING
The second phase is planning. During this phase, you write out a baseline plan for your project. This
baseline plan will include things like: schedules, resource lists, tasks and activities, team members, risk
analyses and reporting
20 | P a g e
The plan then needs to be evaluated and approved by project stakeholders (your client, employer, or
even in some cases: the government).
3. EXECUTION
Execution means the implementation of your project plan. The execution phase can take the longest of
all the processes, depending on the particular project: it can be the building of the largest skyscraper in
the world, or it can merely be a two-day conference that needs to be managed.
The performance of the project team is crucial during this part of the process.
The project process also goes back and forth between planning, executing, and monitoring during this
phase. Each time there is a discrepancy during the monitoring phase, the plan needs to be altered and
re- implemented.
5. CLOSURE
As the project nears completion, you need to close out all contracts, meet the final project goals, and
compile all the final reports and documentation.
It is important to document everything before closing the project. Evaluating the project results, as well
as your project team, is also important.
21 | P a g e
Task3
METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research
design/plan chalked out. Two types of data:
Primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus happen to
be original in character.
Secondary data, on the other hand, are those which have already been collected by
someone else and which have already been passed through the statistical process.
Various methods are used for the collection of the primary data:
observation method
Interview method
Through questionnaires
Through schedules
Warranty cards
Distributor audits
Pantry audits
Consumer panels
Using mechanical devices
Through projective techniques
Depth interviews
Content analysis.

1. What is your opinion about wellbeing? And is there a shared understanding of it?
As mentioned in the literature review, the definition of digital wellbeing used for this spotlight
adapted an education definition of the wider concept of wellbeing by McCallum and Price (2016)
as follows: Wellbeing refers to a holistic view of living a life that is physically and emotionally
healthy. For example, wellbeing can include aspects from: social, emotional, self-confidence, self-
regulation/monitoring, enjoyment, mental, and more (McCullum & Price, 2016). Digital wellbeing
adapts this definition by McCallum and Price (2016) as: the ability to live holistically healthy lives
considering activities that involve the use of digital technologies. The scope of this project will
focus particularly on promoting positive online communities, which could include the prevention
of digital harassment, online bullying, and addiction. Applications that just limit the usage (of a
smart-phone for instance) were not considered as innovations for this spotlight as they lack an
active educational element.

3) how can digital technology for wellbeing be developed from scratch in the most efficient
and effective way?
Technology can help improve the way staff carry out tasks. It can either speed up existing
processes or allow new, more flexible ways of carrying out the job.
example using handwritten timesheets that then need to be manually inputted onto a PC
address technological obstacles – example simplifying a complex helpdesk process to make it
easier to resolve IT problems
Find the best technology solution
The best solution for business will depend greatly on industry. Research what competitors or
other companies in industry are using and consider consumer technologies that are widely
available as these may be cheaper if only have a small number of staff.
