WP6 Collaborative Knowledge Construction
WP 6 Updates PDF Print E-mail

January 2012:

The partners cooperating in WP6 are currently developing and testing Apps to support and foster collaborative reflection in different settings. After extensive users studies and discussion of possibilities to support collaborative reflection several applications are currently in development and planning phase:

 1. The Patient/Relative Talk App
This app is described seperately. In addition we are working with other test beds on a more generalized version and develop scenarios

2. Do-We-Know-App
We are developing an App for the articulation of topics to be discussed with colleagues in the company, which may either be covered by the company's knowledge management or lead to reflection among workers. The app will run on mobile devices and will be embedded into office tools, e.g. Allowing the articulation of issue within slides used to present products to customers.

3. Scaffolding App
A list of scaffolds for collaborative reflection is currently in development and will result in an application that offers help to structure reflection sessions. Based on the MIRROR reflection model it suggests next steps based on the phase of a reflection sessions.

4. Articulation App
The Articulation App is design as a service that can be integrated in other MIRROR Apps to make simple annotations on captured experiences.These annotations can be of various types like text, photos, images,audio or video.  The Articulation App is already integrated in the PrepApp and will be part of derivations.
