“…Indeed, when collaborators can choose, they often use video channels to share data and other work-related artefacts, rather than as a channel for observing one another (Endsley, 1995;Hall et al, 1996;Whittaker and O'Conaill, 1997). Thus, most current research is focused on how to support awareness of planning, acting and task status against a background of social awareness Dourish et al, 1999;, 1998a, b, 2000Carroll et al, 2001;Isenhour et al, 2000).…”

“…Researchers have also explored techniques for visualizing the history of interactions with web pages (Wexelblat and Maes, 1999;Chi et al, 2001) or objects in a shared workspace (Gutwin, 2002). For the most part, however, there has been a disconnect between work supporting awareness in real time situations and the capture, integration and presentation of interactions over an extended period of time (Carroll et al, 2001).…”

People working collaboratively must establish and maintain awareness of one another's intentions, actions and results. Notification systems typically support awareness of the presence, tasks and actions of collaborators, but they do not adequately support awareness of persistent and complex activities. We analysed awareness breakdowns in use of our Virtual School system-stemming from problems related to the collaborative situation, group, task and tool support-to motivate the concept of activity awareness. Activity awareness builds on prior conceptions of social and action awareness, but emphasizes the importance of activity context factors like planning and coordination. This work suggests design strategies for notification systems to better support collaborative activity. r

“…In our prototyping activities we use software infrastructure previously developed for the NSF-sponsored TeacherBridge (ROLE; REC-0106552) and Learning in Networked Communities (LiNC; projects. In the LiNC project, we developed CORK (Content Object Replication Kit), a toolkit for transparently replicating Java objects, as a basis for tools that allowed synchronous and asynchronous collaboration (Isenhour, Rosson, and Carroll 2001). We subsequently extended this work by creating a system called BRIDGE (Basic Resources for Integrated Distributed Group Environments), which provides mechanisms for browsing and modifying structured collections of CORK-based objects from web browsers and interactive clients.…”

“…By making a strict, but straightforward, distinction between public and personal devices, SharedNotes limits opportunities for synchronous and parallel activities. To investigate these and other related issues we are working to create physical meeting spaces using wireless handhelds and large screen displays on top of the collaborative architecture for our virtual community environment, MOOsburg [2].…”
