  • Are Online Collaborative Concept-Maps? Introducing Metrics for Quantifying and Comparing the ‘Networkedness’ of Collaboratively Constructed Content
    education sciences Article How ‘Networked’ are Online Collaborative Concept-Maps? Introducing Metrics for Quantifying and Comparing the ‘Networkedness’ of Collaboratively Constructed Content Noa Sher 1,* , Carmel Kent 2 and Sheizaf Rafaeli 1 1 Internet Lab, University of Haifa, Abba Khoushy Ave 199, Haifa 3498838, Israel; [email protected] 2 Educate Ventures, The Golden Triangle, 69 Banstead Road, Carshalton SM5 3NP, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 15 August 2020; Accepted: 22 September 2020; Published: 28 September 2020 Abstract: With the growing role of online multi-participant collaborations in shaping the academic, professional, and civic spheres, incorporating collaborative online practices in educational settings has become imperative. As more educators include such practices in their curricula, they are faced with new challenges. Assessment of collaborations, especially in larger groups, is particularly challenging. Assessing the quality of the collaborative “thought process” and its product is essential for both pedagogical and evaluative purposes. While traditional quantitative quality measures were designed for individual work or the aggregated work of individuals, capturing the complexity and the integrative nature of high-quality collaborative learning requires novel methodologies. Network analysis provides methods and tools that can identify, describe, and quantify non-linear and complex phenomena. This paper applies network analysis to the content created by students through large-scale online collaborative concept-mapping and explores how these can be applied for the assessment of the quality of a collective product. Quantitative network structure measures are introduced for this purpose. The application and the affordances of these metrics are demonstrated on data from six large-group online collaborative discussions from academic settings.

  • Social Presence: Influence on Bidders in Internet Auctions
    RESEARCH Social Presence: Influence on Bidders in Abstract We study effects of social processes’ Internet Auctions representation in Internet auctions using laboratory experiments. The inability of participating parties to learn about each SHEIZAF RAFAELI AND AVI NOY others’ bidding behaviour and to extend their comprehension beyond what is pre- sented in auction sites today decreases the social influence compared to traditional face-to-face auctions. This reality is about to change since new interaction and collaboration technologies are emerging. A conceptual model used here associates social factors influencing bidders and the resulting bidding behaviour. We utilized an online auction simulation framework that facilitates transmission of social cues during an auction and conducted empirical study of behaviour in both English and Dutch INTRODUCTION The Internet is perceived to auctions.

  • An Experimental Approach to Assessing the Role of Electronic Mail

This paper is an attempt to document empirically the relation between information sharing accomplished via electronic mail and the performance of teams. We report on an experimental study of the role of electronic mail in the operation of supply chains. A variation of the well known ‘Beer Game’ role-playing simulation game was computerized and implemented in an internet-based envi- ronment to study the information-sharing behaviour of teams. A total of 76 teams of four players each competed to achieve best net team profit. Results of the sim- ulation game permit a detailed examination of email use in an organizational con- text. Findings indicate the expected significant correlation between email use to share information up the supply chain and net team profit. In other words, sharing information in the team has a positive impact on performance. The recorded behaviour of managers in the online simulation indicates that team members use electronic mail successfully to attempt disintermediation of the supply chain. When information is shared online, teams perform significantly better. Keywords: information sharing, internet, electronic mail, supply chain, team per- formance, organizational learning INTRODUCTION Information shared throughout the ranks of business organizations ought to affect organiza- tional performance and output.

  • QSIA: Online Knowledge Items in the Service of Learning Communities
    Sheizaf Rafaeli, Ilan Hammel, Yuval Dan-Gur 31 QSIA: Online Knowledge Items In the Service of Learning Communities Sheizaf Rafaeli Ilan Hammel Yuval Dan-Gur [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] The Center for the Study of the The Department of Pathology in The Center for the Study of the Information Society, Sackler Faculty of Medicine Information Society, Graduate Graduate School of Business, Tel Aviv University, Israel School of Business, University of Haifa Mt. Carmel, University of Haifa Mt. Carmel, Haifa, Israel Haifa, Israel Our research integrated computerized social collaborative systems known as Recommender Systems , with distance learning . The relationships among collaborative filtering and scientific literature, distant learners and organizational learning are quite new, applying 'high risk', knowledge-intensive domains to the "next generation" of recommender systems. Noting that computer-based learning, like other learning methodologies, does not present equal benefits for everyone, we conducted a longitudinal field study in which, for two years, our research tool, QSIA (at: http://www.qsia.org), a web-based Java-programmed collaborative system for collection, management, sharing and assignment of knowledge items for learning, was free for use on the web and was adopted by various institutions and classes of heterogeneous learning domains.. The option of testing and online assessment at any time and in any site is a flexible method to mentor progress and focus difficulties in learning along with analysis of online computerized tasks. The system enables creating and editing of the knowledge items and conducting online educational tasks and includes a recommendation module that assists the students and teachers in filtering relevant information.

    Palestrante Convidado: Sheizaf Rafaeli Diretor do Centro Sagy para Pesquisa na Internet - Universidade de Haifa, Israel Computers and Networks are the Medium: Gaming and Sharing are the Message Computers and networks are here, and are rapidly changing the landscape of schools. If computers are medium, what is the message? When computers and networks are added into the ages-old and well-established equation of learning and schooling, what is about to change? And what we want to change? In other words, how do the new technologies and their use affect the opportunities and processes of learning? In this talk I will elaborate on the development, implementation and evaluation of the use of online tools for learning, with special attention to games and gamification, sharing and collaboration. The introduction of networked tools to enable Play and Collaboration is a major challenge for intelligent tutoring systems research. I will introduce some of our game and gamification designs and experiments, discuss some generic and theoretical issues, including "Ludenic Pedagogy and Theory", Interactivity and Subjective Value of Information, I will report on recent findings, and describe the practical implications of designing and adopting these tools and practices for learning. Biografia Professor Sheizaf Rafaeli (B.A., Haifa University, M.A. Ohio State University, M.A., Ph.D., Stanford University) is Director of the the Sagy Center for Internet Research (InfoSoc, the Center for the Study of the Information Society) (1998 - present), and former Head of the Graduate School of Management (2005-2011), University of Haifa Israel.
