This paper presents a study on designing a novel e-learning environment, in which students can collaboratively learn photo-processing skills. In particular, we name such Photo-Processing e-Learning Environment as PPeLE. Our proposed PPeLE has many merits over the existing photo processing tools, such as low cost, platform-independent, collaborative learning, full-fledged photo-processing functions,...
The provision of information on emerging dangerous circumstances in order to reduce the risks before they occur has triggered a lot of research interest in the recent past. The development of early warning systems for disaster risk management has become the focus of numerous global strategies for development. Early warning systems are surveillance systems that collect information on epidemic-prone...
Crime incidents tend to increase steadily. To effectively respond to the incidents, police officers need to have a highly efficient incident reporting system. However, the telephone-based incident reporting system currently used has some limitations. It cannot cope with current problems and meet all requirements. Since mobile devices, especially smartphones, are prevalent, widely used and can transmit...
Developing web-based as well as mobile platforms to encourage citizens to become involved in urban governance and political decision-making processes is becoming increasingly popular amongst municipalities and organisations. However, the vast majority of them either implement a one-way communication between citizens and governance or tends to be more of a consultation process instead of actively integrating...
A key driver of enterprise adoption of consumer mobile devices is their potential to support collaboration. However, today there is little understanding of how well mobile devices support collaborative work activities in the enterprise. We present Ask an Expert, a tablet-based collaboration application for mobile industrial workers. Ask an Expert combines communication channels and content sharing...
Cultural heritage assets keep alive the history of a territory and of its inhabitants. Several systems have been developed to support people during their visits to historical sites and museums, with the goal of improving the overall user experience. In many cases, people travelling together would appreciate the possibility of collaborating in gathering information and planning a personalized itinerary...
In recent years instant messaging tools have been successfully introduced to support communication and collaboration processes in work environments. Research suggests that the use of instant messaging tools lead to an increased feeling of connectedness, social presence and awareness within a collaborative group. Consequently, the goal of our research is to improve communication and collaboration within...
This paper presents an application for collaborative design of mobile prototypes, covering both prototyping and evaluation stages of design. Virtual design workspaces provide designers with the necessary mechanisms to build and test prototypes. Shared versions of these workspaces along with annotation mechanisms offer the ability to not only constitute collaborative design groups, but also perform...
