Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) enables overlays of semantically-enriched multimedia on video streams of smart phone cameras. These new ways to interact with digital objects via position and 3D movement can be helpful for on-site professional communities. However, current MAR applications lack real-time collaborative features. Moreover, blending multimedia semantics in collaborative MAR is still challenging. In this paper, we present a mobile real-time semantic multimedia-based collaborative system with augmented reality features based on open standards like XMPP and MPEG-7. The prototype system is evaluated in the digital documentation of historical sites for cultural heritage management. The evaluation results indicate increased productivity and awareness within on-site professional communities. Index Terms-real-time collaboration; augmented reality; mobile multimedia; multimedia metadata; MPEG-7; XMPP;

Unlike most of these studies, we investigate a partly physically collocated, partly spatially distributed community of students using a technical platform more for the coordination and organization of their studies, courses and projects rather than for learning purposes themselves.…”

This paper examines WiInf-Central, the 'virtual homeplace' of a student community (on Information Systems) at the University of Hamburg, and focuses on processes of social identity and community-building. Drawing on social-identity theory and communities of practice as our theoretical basis, we illustrate that the processes of identity-building and positive in-group evaluation triggered by WiInf-Central serve as a means for students of Information Systems to assert themselves against faculty members and students of other disciplines. While our study reveals strong mechanisms of social exclusion, inclusion mechanisms have to be assessed in a more differentiated way. In particular, our study shows the emergence of several 'subgroups', which appear largely closed to other community members. We ascribe this to both the self-organized and the hybrid -half virtual, half real -nature of the community based on WiInf-Central.

“…Especially the humanities require a particularly sensitive design of information systems [7] that fits into their scientific methodology. For that reason, we have developed several information systems in tight cooperation with our colleagues from the cultural sciences and the humanities [15,29,16] within the collaborative research center on "Media and Cultural Communication".…”

Abstract. Even with a large number of course management systems at the market and already established in some universities, impact of these systems on the curricula design in the humanities and the cultural sciences is still marginal. Instead of complaining about the reluctance against technology in the non-technical disciplines we try to contribute to establishing an e-learning culture in these faculties. First we introduce on the one hand existing theories on knowledge creation and social learning in information systems research and on the other hand mediaspecific theories developed in the humanities. By combining these both approaches we achieve a deeper understanding of the underlying scientific methodologies and information systems' needs. Then we analyze the existing course management systems in the humanities and the cultural sciences with respect to these requirements. Our study indicates that no course management system covers all of these needs. Thus, we introduce MECCA-learn on top of the Movie E-learning Combination and Categorization Application (MECCA) as a basic course management system. It is deployed for a web based community of learners in a media-rich curriculum that allows a tight interaction between multimedia artifacts, their situational context and discourses on them.
