JustificationJustificationStudents find it irritating to not
have overview over annotated articles and having to search manually for them.
ObjectivesObjectivesEnhance learning for students
◦Simple organizing and accessability for annotated articles
Project IdeaProject IdeaAnnotate application with unique way to
organize and search through your articles
Search results with generated mind thoughts (cloud) user interface
Inspired by◦iAnnotate◦iThoughts
We think our application will make it a lot easier for students to find the exact articles they want to read.

Researchers: Paul LuffChristian Heath

ObjectiveObjective Examine the ways in which mobility of
personnel and artefacts is critical to collaboration and communication – considering how individuals rely upon their own mobility and that of particular artefacts to support collaboration as well as the resources that might enhance their current tasks and responsibilities.
JustificationJustificationTools for remote collaboration are
staticCurrent technologies are rigidSystems for co- present
collaboration are located on inflexible workstations
Mobility features in collaborative work largely overlooked
BackgroundBackgroundEvolution of organization and effect of
technology - Understanding how new communication
technologies support organizational transformation and re-engineering of business processes to dynamic fragmented networks
Effect of physical configuration of technology on activity and collaboration
MethodologyMethodology The researchers use three case studies to
understand the collaborative environment to which conventional systems are subjected.
Namely1. Medical consultation- focus on ecological
mobility of traditional paper in professional medical practices
2. Construction site – technological limitation in support of collaboration
3. London Underground- focus on multimedia support for mobile collaboration
Case 1: Medical Case 1: Medical ConsultationConsultationA case of ’micro- mobility’- defined as a way in which
an artefact can be mobilised and manipulated for various purposes around a relatively circumscribed domain.
Paper record supports synchronous and asynchronous collaborations between clients(doctors, patients, & other professionals)
Critical features of paper in interaction;Portability, ecological flexibility, handlable,
dismantlable, manipulable, reassembled and reordered
Limitation of ’desktop metaphor’: Inability to imitate how traditional artefacts and tools reconfigure on desk with regard to on going interaction with others.
Case 2: Construction siteCase 2: Construction site A case of remote mobility. Mobile system developed to support foremen-
designed to replicate the action of allocation sheets used on site.
Allocation sheets are resource for synchronous and remote communication (record activities undertaken, time spent, and problems identified and managed)
Effect: Technology hindered mobile collaboration- the mobile system made the user less mobile , less able to monitor the ongoing work and less available to engage in activities. (system remained in a fixed location and used to document data and thus did not offer interactional support of paper allocation sheet)
Case 2: Construction site... Case 2: Construction site... contdcontdTechnology challenges: Misunderstanding by the proponents of the
system concerning the nature of interaction around the objects and artefacts, the sketches, notes and work schedules utilised between foremen and gangers.
Size, shape and low intensity lighting of screen made it problematic for items displayed on it to become topics of discussion.
Failure to account how documents form basis for real-time collaboration and communication
Case 3: London Case 3: London UndergroundUndergroundA case of remote and local mobility.Problem: Centralization of bulk of information and
communication resources – resource isolationCharacteristics of interaction Access to real-time information and general
data Collaboration with others in their immediate
vicinity Visual access to areas Audio communication with station staff
Case 3: London Case 3: London Underground…ctdUnderground…ctdFeatures of Mobile systemGraphic information, textual information,
Audio, Portable, size, real-time communication
Potential tech. for supporting London Underground
High bandwidth wireless communication system to extend station capabilities while supporting graphic and textual interface, access to system controls and commuication system.
ConclusionConclusion Use of objects in interaction are interweaved
within interaction and activities of others. Individual orientations towards objects are
continually shifting and being transfromed with repsect to ongoing interactions and activities of participants – that is personnel inconventional environment rely upon their own mobility and that of artefacts to accomplish their work.
Relevance to The Online Relevance to The Online LibraryLibrary Mobile systems need to support a range of
different types cooperation and collaboration – heterogenous combination of technologies
Critical consideration of tasks and responsibilities of individuals as well as how access to information requires and engenders cooperation and collaboration ??
