Device-Oriented and Task-Oriented Exploratory Learning of Interactive Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our research examines the strategies employed by users during exploratory learning, and what they learn about how a device works and how to accomplish tasks using the device. Initial empirical and modelling work suggests that users typically conduct device-oriented exploration resulting in the acquisition of specifically device-oriented knowledge, but not directly of taskoriented knowledge. Although the device-oriented knowledge can serve as a basis for further problem-solving, it does not, in itself, result in the necessary skills to complete domain tasks.
