The Ecology of Human-Machine Systems II: Mediating 'Direct Perception' in Complex Work Domains

TL;DR: The Ecological Interface Design (ED) as mentioned in this paper is a theoretical framework in the smart instrument vein that postulates a set of general, prescriptive principles for design of work environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

What in the World

TL;DR: This dissertation aims to provide a history of web exceptionalism from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year in which descriptions of “Web 2.0” began to circulate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond "The Original Affluent Society": A Culturalist Reformulation [and Comments and Reply]

TL;DR: This article examined Marshall Sahlins's "original affluent society" in relation to recent developments in modem hunter-gatherer studies and revealed a theoretical confusion of ecological and cultural perspectives within it which has hitherto been overlooked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accessing, Documenting, and Communicating Practical Wisdom: The Phronesis of School Leadership Practice

TL;DR: The authors argue that the artifacts, such as policies, programs, and procedures, that school leaders develop and use can serve as occasions to document the expression of phronesis in context, and develop phronetic narratives of how successful leaders use artifacts to establish the conditions for improving student learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive Ethology and exploring attention in real-world scenes

TL;DR: The study illustrates how attention research can benefit from using more complex real-world tasks and stimuli, measuring participants' subjective reports about their experiences and beliefs, and observing and describing situational behavior rather than seeking to uncover some putative basic mechanism of attention.
