Supporting disabled populations and their unpaid carers through designing sustainable healthcare interventions and infrastructures, is an important, yet challenging, area in HCI research. We report on a collaboration with 23 disabled citizens, unpaid ...

Harnessing the potential of wikis in teacher education is a significantly challenging task. Researchers suggest that incorporating wikis in the educational process requires a proper design rationale. This paper extends the previous research scope ...

In a classroom environment, "understood?" is the most common feedback question asked by a teacher for the evaluation of his/her teaching. But, in a virtual environment like MOOCs, no such feedback mechanism can be materialized. In this paper, we propose ...

This poster summarizes our contributions to Wikimedia's processing pipeline for mathematical formulae. We describe how we have supported the transition from rendering formulae as course-grained PNG images in 2001 to providing modern semantically ...

In this paper, we present the results of our WikiLinks project which aims at extending current Wikipedia linkage mechanisms. Wikipedia has become recently one of the most important information sources on the Internet, which still is based on relatively ...

Global Software Development has brought many benefits to the industry. On the other hand, it carries with it new challenges mostly regarding knowledge transfer. When new hires join a company, they should learn about the working process, organization ...

Commons-based peer production communities can be analyzed with the help of social network analysis. However, since they are fluid organizations that change over time, the time dimension needs to be taken into account.

In this work we present a web ...

We present empirical examples of approaches to communication taken by the consortium of a large scale participatory design project in Europe, framed in terms of organisational communication in an infrastructuring process. The examples are understood ...

This paper presents different approaches, experiences and perspectives of using technologies in higher education institutions. Particular case studies of application of social media (especially wikis), game-based learning and various technology-...

This paper discusses a method of employing bots instead of people to monitor servers or server rooms. A bot is a remote controlled computer or a remote controlled program. A bot is usually a malicious program which is an element of a botnet. A botnet is ...

In this work, we open up the DAWT dataset - Densely Annotated Wikipedia Texts across multiple languages. The annotations include labeled text mentions mapping to entities (represented by their Freebase machine ids) as well as the type of the entity. The ...

Wikiglass is a learning analytic tool for visualizing collaborative work on Wikis built by groups of secondary or primary school students. This poster presents new features of Wikiglass developed recently based on requests from teachers, including ...

To inform the design of collaborative learning systems and assignments, our research asks: What aspects of student-generated content truly enhance learning outcomes? Herein we detail the methodologies we have developed to answer this question, including ...

The use of specific tools provided by LMS Moodle, such as Wiki, is becoming more and more necessary in undergraduate educational contexts to promote efficient group work and achieve learning targets.

The research study that follows combines these ideas, ...

Through examining established and evolving conceptions of intelligence across natural and social science and applying them to Wikipedia, this article argues that the world's largest encyclopedia and broadest implementation of the wiki is an online ...

This demo presents Wikiglass, a learning analytic tool for visualizing the statistics and timelines of collaborative Wikis built by secondary school students during their group project in inquiry-based learning. The tool adopts a modular structure for ...

This study attempts to investigate to what extent indicators of academic writing and cognitive thinking can help measure the writing quality of group collaborative writings on Wikis. Particularly, comparisons were made on Wiki content in different ...

A relevant part of the research activities performed in European computer science institutions is funded through European Union (EU) projects. Eliciting and defining requirements for a software system in a distributed environment with heterogeneous ...

Introductory computer science courses are being increasingly taught using technology-mediated instruction and e-learning environments. The software and technology in such courses could benefit from the use of student models to inform and guide ...

In this paper we present WeeVis, a knowledge-based recommender system embedded in a Wiki environment. Since Wikis are used since quite a long time for knowledge management and retrieval in many companies, we show how MediaWiki pages can be extended with ...
