Collaborative Subject-oriented Workplace Re-design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The demo paper introduces SURF , a tool for supporting the subjectoriented redesign of workplaces in production companies. The collaborative tool, inspired by the wiki and the subject-oriented philosophy, allows workers to raise issues and suggest solutions to be exposed to managers for workplace re-design purposes. The advantage of the tool is twofold. On the one hand it empowers workers, making them aware and actively involved in the workplace re-design. On the other hand, the tool makes management aware of actual problems occurring at the shopfloor and of the suggestions proposed by workers, thus supporting them in the effective re-design.

متن کاملAn Activity-Oriented Approach to Visually Structured Knowledge Representation for Problem-Based Learning in Virtual Learning Environments
Knowledge that needs to be learned in the workplace may often be illstructured, arising from the need to solve a problem, rather than from a motivation to learn an entire content domain. Existing visually structured knowledge representation methods for education are designed to support subject-based learning. In this paper we describe our conceptual model of collaborative learning which is deve...
متن کاملLooking at the Whole Picture: A Case Study of Analyzing a Virtual Workplace
In a previous study, we analyzed data from a field study to determine the usability problems in a groupware system. That 75% of the system use was asynchronous surprised us. Consequently, we suspected that the user-centered method that had been employed in that evaluation, might have been insufficient to detect problems related to such heavy asynchronous use. Re-analysis of the data using an ar...
