Thinking with Erasable Ink: Ad-hoc Whiteboard Use in Collaborative Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our work uses interactive workspace capture technology to investigate the hows and whys of whiteboard use in collaborative design environments. By showing excerpts from data collected in two collaborative design settings, we describe how collaborators use whiteboards in an opportunistic, task-oriented fashion. We illustrate the patterns collaborators follow in their interactions with the whiteboard and each other. We demonstrate that sketches generated in these ad-hoc design sessions ground real-time discussion, but seldom convey much information after the fact. These findings are analyzed to help us reexamine our approaches towards computer-supported collaborative design activity outside of the formal meeting environment.

Sharing Digital Ink in Heterogeneous Collaborative Environments
We present techniques that allow sharing of standardized digital ink in a heterogeneous collaborative environment. We explore the use of W3C InkML (Digital Ink Markup Language) and show how it is more flexible and suitable than other digital ink formats for this purpose. We discuss different possible digital ink sharing schemes using InkML and describe pros and disadvantages of each. We present...
متن کاملSpontnet: Experiences in Configuring and Securing Small Ad Hoc Networks
In contrast with work focusing on routing problems in mobile ad hoc networks, this work addresses the problem of system configuration in such networks. In particular, we are interested in ways to instantiate the configuration infrastructure – naming, addressing, authentication, and key distribution – needed to establish small-to-medium scale ad hoc networks supporting collaborative applications...

In this paper we present a new Peer-to-Peer approach for enabling data dissemination, using filtering techniques, that provides support for many types of collaborative applications. Our architecture, called WhiteBoard P2P, is designed to act as an innovative distributed data stream processing system which is vendor-independent and technologyindependent. Our infrastructure can support the interc...
متن کاملInkChat: a collaboration tool for mathematics
We investigate the question of how multimodality can be used in computer-mediated mathematical collaboration. To demonstrate our ideas, we present InkChat, a whiteboard application, which can be used to conduct collaborative sessions on a shared canvas. It allows participants to use voice and digital ink independently and simultaneously, which has been found useful in mathematical collaboration.
متن کاملInvestigating the Impact of Collaborative and Static Assessment on the Iranian EFL Students’ Reading comprehension, Critical Thinking, and Metacognitive Strategies of Reading
This study was aimed at investigating the effect of collaborative assessment, as compared to that of static assessment, on the EFL learners’ reading comprehension, metacognitive strategies, and critical thinking. In this mixed-methods research design study, 62 intermediate EFL learners out of a population of 79 English language learners, were randomly selected and divided into two groups of exp...
