This paper presents our research works and our proposal : ISiS model (Intentions, Strategies, interactional Situations), a conceptual framework elaborated to structure the design of learning scenarios using Information and Communication Technologies by teachers-designers. This framework is based on a goal-oriented approach and proposes to clearly identify intentional, strategic, tactical and op...

The chat communication between students engaged in a collaborative modeling task, using a system dynamics modeling approach, was analysed. The analysis revealed a pattern to how students begin new problems in a chat and the analysis of the objects of learning identified issues with both communication between students and the design of one of the tasks. We describe a number of the emerging inter...

Determining which factors promote or impede the sharing of knowledge within organizations constitutes an important area of research. This paper examines knowledge sharing through the lens of equity theory. The study will explore the impact of three types of justice – distributional, procedural and interactional – on knowledge sharing. Hypotheses regarding the influence of distributional, proced...

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing interest in the study of interactional metadiscourse markers in different contexts. However, not much research has been conducted about the discourse of journal author guidelines, especially the use of meta-discourse markers in this genre. Therefore, this corpus-based study had three main aims: 1) to delve deep into the types, frequencies and f...

Consonants in word onsets are, in English and Dutch, more frequently misspoken than consonants in other positions, and also more frequently than expected from the relative numbers of onset consonants and other consonants. We argue here that relative numbers of segments in specific positions in the word is not a valid predictor of relative frequencies of segmental speech errors. A more valid pre...

This study relies on an interactional, conversational–analytic approach to elucidate what meanings Chilean Spanish speakers convey via creaky voice quality in informal conversations. Highly utterances produced by 18 were derived from a larger corpus of sociolinguistic interview speech Santiago, Chile, and examined interactional that accounted for how figured the process meaning-making meaning n...

Visual object database browsers are essentially based on two kinds of interactions: navigation within a collection of objects, and navigation between objects via their relationships. These two interactional operators have proven to adequately support the main user task addressed by these tools, i.e. exploring the states of a set of related objects. In temporal object databases, visual browsing ...
