mRx: Negotiating collaborative decisions

Abstract

In this paper, we present the architecture for a working prototype of a decision tool, the mRx. The goal of this prototype was to develop a simple, yet valid, tool to help members of the forestry community to collaboratively negotiate decisions for prescribed burns. The architecture of the mRx has been designed by mapping key learning strategies to pedagogical models. Technological affordances are then leveraged to support these strategies and models.
