Rationale, Implementation, and Evaluation Abstract Climate change is a growing concern to humankind, since the dominant view argues for rapid, significant changes in human behavior to avert catastrophic consequences. This is a complex problem, known as a wicked problem. A productive way forward is through creative, critical dialogue. Such dialogue requires new kinds of socio-technical infrastructure. We offer a socio- technical infrastructure, described as a boundary infrastructure, based on improvements to existing and emerging Issue-based Information Systems (IBIS) conversation platforms. IBIS is an emerging lingua franca of structured discourse. We survey a rich field of literature related to ecologies for human-computer collaboration, conversation, communications theory, scientific discovery, knowledge representation and organization, and software development. Our goal is to facilitate the elicitation of numerous IBIS conversations, seeking a large variety of opinions, facts, and world views; our contribution lies in a process of federation of those IBIS conversations. Our work entails the fabrication of a prototype collective intelligence platform we call Bloomer. Bloomer includes an IBIS conversation federation component, and will be disseminated to several communities of practice, particularly those engaged in activities related to climate change. 1.0 Introduction "My advocacy is much more towards having more intelligent discussions, which is completely naive and stupid and I realize that.” —Gavin Schmidt (2009), Climatologist Stephen Denning's Springboard stories (Denning, 2001) are short stories that set a tone, introduce a concept, and have the capacity to create a memorable context in which problems can be solved, larger stories told, and more. We offer a springboard story that introduces our research: In a recent conversation among people in the Silicon Valley, Steven Chu's idea of painting roofs white (Johnson, 2009) as a means to reduce carbon associated with building cooling was the subject. Imagine hundreds or thousands of such conversations occurring around the planet, some among scientists engaged in detailed

  • Typology of Free Web-Based Learning Technologies (2020)
    Typology of Free Web-based Learning Technologies (2020) Matt Bower Jodie Torrington Macquarie University, Australia Macquarie University, Australia E: [email protected] E: [email protected] Tw: @mattgbower Tw: @jtorro1 [The original 2015 Typology of Web 2.0 Technologies is available from the Educause website at https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/2/a-typology-of-web-20-learning-technologies ] Abstract The Typology of Free Web-based Learning Technologies (2020) provides educators with a list of 226 technologies arranged into 40 types and 15 clusters that can be used via a browser to promote more productive and interactive learning. The 2020 Typology constitutes an update to the previously published Typology of Web 2.0 Learning Technologies (Bower, 2015), which was also based on a systematic search and categorical analysis (see Bower, 2016, for methodology). This 2020 Typology of Free Web-based Learning Technologies returns to the original analysis to remove tools that are no longer available and add new tools and categories that have entered the online learning ecosystem. Based on these emerging tools, new categorical types and clusters have also been added. Brief descriptions, example tools and pedagogical uses were provided for each category, in order to support ease of conceptualization and application. The analysis makes it possible to gauge trends in online learning technologies over the last five years, for instance the unsustainability of many smaller tools, the marketisation of many others, the trend towards more integrated platforms of tools, and greater dominance by larger providers. The paper concludes by inferring future trends in the online learning technology landscape.

  • Argument Visualization for Eparticipation: Towards a Research Agenda and Prototype Tool
    Argument Visualization for eParticipation: Towards a Research Agenda and Prototype Tool Neil Benn1 Ann Macintosh1 1Institute of Communications Studies, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK {N.J.L.Benn, A.Macintosh}@leeds.ac.uk Abstract. This paper describes research that aims to develop an argument visualization tool and associated method for supporting eParticipation and online deliberation. Based on the state-of-the- art in the field of computer-supported argument visualization, the tool will support the work of relevant eParticipation actors by enabling them to navigate through arguments contained in relevant consultation and policy documents. This tool will form the core of our investigation into the mediating role that large, Web-based argument maps can play in eParticipation scenarios. In particular, we intend to investigate the method and practice of how various eParticipation actors use the tool in the policy-making process. To this end, this paper sets out a clear research agenda for research at the intersection of eParticipation and computer-supported argument visualization. Keywords: Argument visualization, technologies for eParticipation, online deliberation 1 Introduction This paper describes research and development on an argument visualization tool (AVT) for supporting eParticipation and online deliberation. The AVT is part of a larger suite of tools being developed within the EU-funded IMPACT project. The project began January 1, 2010 and will run for three years. The aims of the IMPACT project include addressing the four overarching problems outlined in [1], namely: 1. How can the various actors determine the relationships between contributions to policy development, whether taken from expert papers, consultations or public forum discourse, and appreciate how these contributions are taken through to decisions? 2.

Intensional/extensional A rather large and especially useful portion of our active vocabularies is taken up by general terms, words or phrases that stand for whole groups of individual things sharing a common attribute. But there are two distinct ways of thinking about the meaning of any such term. The extensional of a general term is just the collection of individual things to which it is correctly applied. Thus, the extension of the word "chair" includes every chair that is (or ever has been or ever will be) in the world. The intension of a general term, on the other hand, is the set of features which are shared by everything to which it applies. Thus, the intensional of the word "chair" is (something like) "a piece of furniture designed to be sat upon by one person at a time." Fig.
