Interpreting the externalised images of pupils' conceptions of ICT: methods for the analysis of concept maps

The ImpacT2 evaluation is using image based concept mapping as one method of exploring the impact of networked technologies on students' learning. In a pre-test administered in June 2000, students in three cohorts aged 10-11, 13-14 and 15-16, produced ...
Work coordination, workflow, and workarounds in a medical context
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In this paper we report an ethnographic study of workarounds-informal temporary practices for handling exceptions to normal workflow-in a hospital environment. Workarounds are a common technique for dealing with the inherent uncertainty of dynamic work ...
