Social Navigation and Seamful Design

Matthew Chalmers, +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of making a computational system's social context observable to users in a way that- is separated from the service's main functionality in the interface, allowing it to become peripheral and non-obtrusive;- uses simple models and little interpretation;- opens up the service to allow for user appropriation of both service content and functionality; and- is informative rather than proactive in order to empower the user rather than acting on the user's behalf.

Presence: Form, Content and Consciousness

John Waterworth, +3 more

Building bridges within learning communities through ontologies and thematic objects

Ulrich Hoppe, +6 more
TL;DR: This article explores the potential of extending communication through artefacts to heterogeneous, anonymous and asynchronous learner communities by drawing on existing work, e.g. in the areas of "social navigation" and recommender systems.

Swarm-based sequencing recommendations in e-learning

B. van den Berg, +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce an approach to recommending the sequencing of e-learning modules for distance learners based on self-organization theory and describe an architecture which supports the recording, processing and presentation of collective learner behavior designed to create a feedback loop informing learners of successful paths towards the attainment of learning goals.

Image of the city

Kevin Lynch, +2 more
Abstract: What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion -- imageability -- and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.
