Mutual Caring—Resolving Habituation through Awareness: Supporting Meaningful Learning from Projects

Supporting collaborative learning in online higher education through activity awareness

Improving activity awareness, the ability to know what is going on around you in ways that are meaningful to your learning objectives and activities, in online learning has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of online learning for students and instructors. This paper introduces readers to the Context-aware Activity Notification System being developed for use within course management sys...

Feeler: supporting awareness and reflection about learning through EEG data

Supporting Groupware Conventions through Contextual Awareness

Conventions are an important part of articulation work. They are a means to merge the various perspectives and workstyles that are involved in handling shared objects in CSCW. We report on convention use with a groupware system used in a government ministry. Our findings suggest that defining, establishing, and following conventions is aided by the visibility of other people's activities using ...

Supporting Situation Awareness through Ecological Interface Design

A full-scope simulation study with licensed nuclear power plant operators was conducted to evaluate whether displays designed using Ecological Interface Design (EID) could support improved Situation Awareness over traditional displays. EID demonstrated performance advantages over traditional displays in beyond-design basis scenarios where operators were unable to rely on procedures. The same ef...

Supporting Interoperability and Context-Awareness in E-Learning through Situation-Driven Learning Processes

Current E-Learning technologies primarily follow a data and metadata-centric paradigm by providing the learner with composite content containing the learning resources and the learning process description, usually based on specific metadata standards such as ADL SCORM or IMS Learning Design. Due to the design-time binding of learning resources, the actual learning context cannot be considered a...
