“…The results presented in this study partially overlap with those of Wojahn et al [34]. In their study on the effects of annotation interfaces on collaborative writing, the authors found that participants in the interlinear and aligned conditions, which can be mapped to our ShS and CoC conditions, communicated about significantly more problems than those in the split-screen condition (our MSN or EC condition).…”

Explicit Referencing is a mechanism for enabling deictic gestures in on-line communication. Little is known about the impact of ER on distance problem solving. In this paper, we report on a study where 120 students (60 pairs) had to solve a problem collaboratively, at a distance, using chat tools that differed in the way a user may relate an utterance to the task context. Results indicate that team performance is improved by explicit referencing mechanisms. However, when Explicit Referencing is implemented in a way that is detrimental to the linearity of the conversation, resulting in the visual dispersion or scattering of messages, its use has negative consequences for collaborative work at a distance. The role of a linear message history in the collaboration mechanisms was equally important than that of Explicit Referencing.

“…A range of important studies were performed with pre-Web annotation systems. For example, (Wojahn et al, 1998) studied the effect of an annotation interface on collaboration by comparing three different annotation interfaces. They concluded that annotation interfaces affect the number and types of problems about which collaborators communicate.…”

Web page annotation and adaptive navigation support are two active, but independent research directions focused on the same goal: expanding the functionality of the Web as a hypertext system. The goal of the AnnotatEd system presented in this paper has been to integrate annotation and adaptive navigation support into a single value-added service where the components can reinforce each other and create new unique attributes. This paper describes the implementation of AnnotatEd from early prototypes to the current version, which has been explored in several contexts. We summarize some lessons we learned during the development process and which defined the current functionality of the system. We also present the results of several classroom studies of the system. These results demonstrate the importance of the browsing-based information access supported by AnnotatEd and the value of both the annotation and navigation support functionalities offered by the system.

“…Many techniques and frameworks offer different approaches to eliciting culture and context in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) design [9,10,26]. These approaches have the merit of viably exploring elements of the problem domain within the complexity of collaborative design settings.…”

Human Work Interaction Design: Usability in Social, Cultural and Organizational Contexts

Abstract. This paper offers context and culture elicitation in an inter-cultural and multi-disciplinary setting of ICT design. Localised usability evaluation (LUE) is augmented with a socio-technical evaluation tool (STEM) as a methodological approach to expose and address issues in a collaborative ICT design within the Village e-Science for Life (VeSeL) project in rural Kenya. The paper argues that designers need to locally identify context and culture in situ and further explicate their implications through the design process and at the global level. Stakeholders' context, culture, decisions, agendas, expectations, disciplines and requirements need to be locally identified and globally evaluated to ensure a fit for purpose solution.
