Wearable tag clouds: visualizations to facilitate new collaborations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the development and pilot testing by university faculty of Wearable Tag Clouds as a CSCL technology. Tag Clouds are ‘at-a-glance’ information visualizations that, in the wearable form developed here, repurpose social web technologies to support face-to-face interactions. Exploration of collaborative prospects is facilitated by visualizing the substantive emphases of researchers’ written works. Pilot test results suggest wearable information visualizations can positively impact face-to-face interactions in collaborative communities.
