New uses for mobile pervasive games - Lessons learned for CSCW systems to support collaboration in vast work sites
نویسندگان
چکیده
New pervasive games draw upon the location of players and objects as well as the availability of several mobile players to create an appealing experience in a large game site. The games include support for interaction other players as well as with location. The advances in games research is of benefit for specific mobile work where a vast site is both topic and resource to get the job done. We discuss how these new means for annotating the location as well as sharing information with colleagues could possibly improve individual work, collaboration as well as learning.

Issues in the Design of Collaborative Systems: Lessons from ConversationBuilder
The development and evolution of the ConversationBuilder (CB) generic collaboration environment has now been proceeding for four years. In this time we have learned many lessons concerning issues in the design of collaboration support environments. In this paper we reeect on our experiences, draw out these lessons, and discuss how we are adapting future versions of CB. In particular we discuss ...
متن کاملWhat Can Policy-Makers Get Out of Systems Thinking? Policy Partners’ Experiences of a Systems-Focused Research Collaboration in Preventive Health
Background There is increasing interest in using systems thinking to tackle ‘wicked’ policy problems in preventive health, but this can be challenging for policy-makers because the literature is amorphous and often highly theoretical. Little is known about how best to support health policy-makers to gain skills in understanding and applying systems thinking for policy action. <br /...
