Communication through artefacts, in the sense of objects (co-)constructed by learners, is a well known mechanism in synchronous shared workspace environments. In this article, we explore the potential of extending this principle to heterogeneous, anonymous and asynchronous learner communities by drawing on existing work, e.g. in the areas of “social navigation” and recommender systems.

متن کاملBuilding Bridges Between Convex Regions
In the Euclidean traveling salesman and buyers problem (TSBP), we are given a set of convex regions in d-dimensional space, and we wish to nd a minimum-cost tour that visits all the regions. The cost of a tour depends on the length of the tour itself and on the distance that buyers within each region need to travel to meet the salesman. We show that constantfactor approximations to the TSBP and...
متن کاملMaking Sense of Microposts at Scientific Conferences
Twitter is being widely used at scientific conferences. Following the microblogging stream, however, adds to the cognitive load of a conference participant. Therefore, there is a need for means of extracting the most important topics from a Twitter stream. This demo paper presents an adaptable system for detecting trends based on Twitter, and shows how it can be used within the setting of a con...
