  • Devopsuse: Community-Driven Continuous Innovation of Web Information Infrastructures
    DevOpsUse: Community-Driven Continuous Innovation of Web Information Infrastructures Von der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften der Rheinisch-Westfälischen Technischen Hochschule Aachen zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Diplom-Medieninformatiker István Koren aus Budapest, Ungarn Berichter: Universitätsprofessor Dr. rer. pol. Matthias Jarke Universitätsprofessor Dr.-Ing. Günther Schuh Privatdozent Dr. rer. nat. Ralf Klamma Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 8. Mai 2020 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Universitätsbibliothek online verfügbar. ii Abstract Since its invention in 1989, the only reliable factor on the Web has been its continuous change and diffusion into more and more application areas. The evolution was shaped by an interplay of new technologies on the one hand, and innovative application ideas from communities on the other. At a technological scale, alternation between vastly distributed and centralized architectures can be observed. The current challenges caused by the ongoing digital transformation are changing workplace settings and the adoption of the Internet of Things in industrial use cases, as for example in the context of Industry 4.0. On the Web, new technologies and device types sprawl together with new communication protocols and revised application programming interfaces (APIs). This inhibits the demanded rapid innovation cycles and creates a disruptive and unstable environment in which the requirements of endless communities must be met. Information systems infrastructure, while only partially visible and thus hard to grasp, has a strong influence on user practices. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to stabilize the dichotomies apparent in the Web by means of an agile information systems development methodology.

  • More Than Writing Text: Multiplicity in Collaborative Academic Writing
    More Than Writing Text: Multiplicity in Collaborative Academic Writing Ida Larsen-Ledet Ph.D. Thesis Department of Computer Science Aarhus University Denmark More Than Writing Text: Multiplicity in Collaborative Academic Writing A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Aarhus University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree. by Ida Larsen-Ledet November 2, 2020 Abstract This thesis explores collaborative academic writing with a focus on how it is medi- ated by multiple technologies. The thesis presents findings from two empirical stud- ies with university students and researchers: The first combined semi-structured interviews with visualizations of document editing activity to explore transitions through co-writers’ artifact ecologies along with co-writers’ motivations for per- forming these transitions. The second study was a three-stage co-design workshop series that progressed from dialog through ideation to exploration of a prototype for a shared editor that was based on the participants’ proposed features and designs. The contribution from the second study to this thesis is the analysis of participants’ viewpoints and ideas. The analyses of these findings contribute a characterization of co-writers’ practical and social motivations for using multiple tools in their collaborations, and the chal- lenges this poses for sharing and adressing the work. Multiplicity is also addressed in terms of co-writers bringing multiple and diverse needs and preferences into the writing, and how these may be approached in efforts to design and improve support for collaborative writing. Additionally, the notion of text function is introduced to describe the text’s role as a mediator of the writing.

  • A Collaborative Writing Approach to Wikis: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation
    Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 8, 2011 A Collaborative Writing Approach to Wikis: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation Said Hadjerrouit University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway [email protected] Abstract Wikis provide teachers with potentially significant opportunities for creating socially engaged tasks that require active student participation and collaboration. Wikis allow students to work to- gether to develop content on the web, giving them a sense of how writing can be carried out col- laboratively. Collaborative writing offer opportunities not only to practice literature review, aca- demic reading and writing, but also to stimulate reflection, knowledge sharing, and critical think- ing. However, despite the potential capabilities of wikis, true collaborative writing does not work by itself as the research literature clearly reveals. To foster collaborative writing, participation, and active involvement in wiki development, there is a need for a systematic approach to the con- struction of wikis. The aim of this paper is to allow students to develop wiki applications using a collaborative writing development approach based on rapid prototyping. The paper also reports on the evaluation of the approach by means of qualitative data collection and analysis methods. Finally, the implications of the approach for collaborative writing are critically discussed accord- ing to a set of requirements associated with software development considerations and pedagogical issues. Keywords: Collaborative writing approach, MediaWiki, rapid prototyping, wiki, social construc- tivism Introduction Wikis are increasingly gaining in popularity in educational settings because of the potential bene- fits they bring to teaching and learning (Clark & Mason, 2008; Fitch, 2007). From a technical point of view, users of wikis do not need any specific software.

  • Collaborative Writing with Web 2.0 Technologies: Education Students’ Perceptions
    Journal of Information Technology Education: Volume 10, 2011 Innovations in Practice Collaborative Writing with Web 2.0 Technologies: Education Students’ Perceptions Cornelia Brodahl, Said Hadjerrouit, and Nils Kristian Hansen University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Executive Summary Web 2.0 technologies are becoming popular in teaching and learning environments. Among them several online collaborative writing tools, like wikis and blogs, have been integrated into educa- tional settings. Research has been carried out on a wide range of subjects related to wikis, while other, comparable tools like Google Docs and EtherPad remain largely unexplored in the litera- ture. This work presents a case study investigating education students’ perceptions of collabora- tive writing using Google Docs and EtherPad. Both tools provide opportunity for multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously, have a separate space for written metacommuni- cation, and are promoted by software designers to be fairly intuitive to adopt without prior train- ing. The work investigates if perceptions depend on factors such as gender, age, digital compe- tence, interest in digital tools, educational settings, and choice of writing tool, and examines if the tools are easy to use and effective in group work. This paper focuses on quantitative results of survey questionnaires. Further qualitative analysis will be presented in a later paper. The theoretical framework is drawn from two learning theories, the social-constructivist learning theory and the community of practice, and their relationships to collaborative tools. Related re- search literature is characterized by a number of issues: positive elements of use, advantages of using Web 2.0 technologies, critical issues regarding the pedagogical value of Web 2.0, and the role of the teacher in using these technologies.

Distributed software development needs real-time collaboration tools that help replicate the benefits of face-to-face meetings and support interaction among team members. Unfortunately, most of the tools that exist have limited capabilities, such as source code editing, and developers face collaboration and communication challenges in working with each other. Over the past decade software researchers have invented various development tools that integrate collaborative features. Unfortunately, most software developers still lack the right means and level of communication to coordinate their work and perform their tasks effectively, particularly in distributed settings.

  • IADIS International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age 2012
    IADIS International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age 2012 The IADIS International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age was held in Madrid, Spain, October, 19- 21, 2012. The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a fast pace and affecting academia and professional practice in many ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents systems. These developments have created both opportunities and areas of serious concerns. This conference aimed to cover both technological as well as pedagogical issues related to these developments. Main tracks have been identified. However innovative contributions that do not easily fit into these areas will also are considered as long as they are directly related to the overall theme of the conference – cognition and exploratory learning in the digital age. The main tracks for submissions were: Acquisition of expertise, Assessing progress of learning in complex domains, Assessment of exploratory learning approaches, Assessment of exploratory technologies, Cognition in education, Collaborative learning, Educational psychology, Exploratory technologies (such as simulations, VR, i-TV and so on), Just-in-time and Learning-on-Demand, Learner Communities and Peer- Support, Learning Communities & Web Service Technologies, Pedagogical Issues Related with Learning Objects, Learning Paradigms in Academia, Learning Paradigms in Corporate Sector, Life-long Learning, Student-Centered Learning, Technology and mental models, Technology, learning and expertise and Virtual University.

  • Fostering Collaborative Learning with Wikis: Extending Mediawiki with Educational Features
    Fostering Collaborative Learning with Wikis: Extending MediaWiki with Educational Features Elvira Popescu, Cristian Maria, and Anca Loredana Udriştoiu Computers and Information Technology Department, University of Craiova, Romania [email protected] Abstract. Wikis are increasingly popular Web 2.0 tools in educational settings, being used successfully for collaborative learning. However, since they were not originally conceived as educational tools, they lack some of the functionali- ties useful in the instructional process (such as learner monitoring, evaluation support, student group management etc.). Therefore in this paper we propose a solution to add these educational support features, as an extension to the popu- lar MediaWiki platform. CoLearn, as it is called, is aimed at increasing the col- laboration level between students, investigating also the collaborative versus cooperative learner actions. Its functionalities and pedagogical rationale are presented, together with some technical details. A set of practical guidelines for promoting collaborative learning with wikis is also included. Keywords: educational wiki, collaborative learning, co-writing, MediaWiki ex- tension, learner tracking 1 Introduction Collaborative learning is a widely used approach in education, in which "students are working in groups of two or more, mutually searching for understanding, solutions, or meanings, or creating a product" [17]; the interactions between peers play a highly important role in the process [2]. Co-writing is an effective strategy of collaborative learning, consisting in a joint production of a piece of text by students who clarify, edit and revise each others' contributions [3]; co-writing processes stimulate reflec- tion, knowledge sharing and critical thinking, in a strong social context [19]. During the past several years, wikis have started to be used for such collaborative learning activities, facilitating group work and discussion.
