Providing multimedia-based courses over the Internet is a challenging task. Technological requirements are far more binding than for simple HTML based courses as in traditional web-based teaching. Low-cost multimedia technologies, in particular technologies for video production and delivery over the Internet, have just become available. Established rules and recommendations how to use those tec...

Technological advances that facilitate the infusion of intelligence and graphics into interfaces provide an important opportunity for research on cognitive aspects of visual representations to influence the design of smart graphic user interfaces to information-rich applications. In this context, we report on a cognitive model of multimodal comprehension and empirical results on interactive mul...

GroupLab Collabrary is a toolkit for rapidly prototyping multimedia groupware. It provides a straightforward API to managing and distributing multimedia information between groupware program instances. The Collabrary also has a culture of use, where a small generic set of useful groupware programming patterns has evolved over time. In this workshop I will describe the Collabrary, what it offers...
