This paper presents a conceptual design of a dynamic and personalizable knowledge workspace suitable for collaboration in academic contexts. The concept of such workspace is aimed to cater the needs of students — as knowledge workers — for flexibility in various types of group and individual knowledge tasks. The research is focused on revealing challenges and obstacles faced by students who perform...
Joint idea generation is vital in software development projects requiring team members with different knowledge specializations to exchange and integrate multiple perspectives into ideas to improve the software product. While joint idea generation is generally difficult to achieve, it is even more challenging in offshore-outsourced settings. Our goal was to understand the process of how software prototypes...
Design thinking framework is a powerful framework for innovation and design. It involves design specific cognitive activities such as Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test (EDIPT). In this paper we present an implementation of EDIPT framework by novice educational technology (ET) researchers and investigate if the quality of research problems generated by the novice researchers is comparable...
This contribution addresses the development of technology for the elderly with the aim to improve their general well-being. We report work on a prototype system named CARE that combines the functionality of a digital image frame with an active recommender mode. Recommendations are chosen on the basis of context information acquired by sensors embedded in the user's environment, and a well-being model...
Requirements elicitation research is reviewed using a framework categorising the relative ‘knowness’ of requirements specification and Common Ground discourse theory. The main contribution of this survey is to review requirements elicitation from the perspective of this framework and propose a road map of research to tackle outstanding elicitation problems involving tacit knowledge. Elicitation techniques...
Quality is a concept or characteristic that everyone knows, but yet is not well understood or defined. In many cases it is simply recognised as the absence of defects. Indeed when specific criteria are provided this is often in such as way as to enable personal preferences or prejudices to inform the decision. In this paper, we present an overview of the work that we are embarking upon examining quality...
The collaborative development of shared understanding is crucial to the success of software development projects. It is also a challenging and volatile process in practice. Small organizations may be especially vulnerable due to reliance on key individuals and insufficient resource to employ several domain specialists. There is, however, minimal empirical research on sharing domain understanding in...
