Through digital storytelling, individuals learn to tell a story, and in doing so, become more effective actors in collaborative work environments. This particular form of digital storytelling encourages participants to communicate meaning on multiple levels (voice, point, emotional content, tension, story arc), and it allows storytellers to take fresh perspective on their work. Participants abstract meaning, but also give it a concrete form, as story, which can then be shared. We consider the benefits of this approach as a way to strengthen ties among participants in the creative and social outreach work in which they engage.","PeriodicalId":390207,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siggroup Bulletin","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115966982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is common that the number of different options is great, and that their advantages and disadvantages are unclear and not obvious. And usually, as the goal is to solve the problem as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, many participants with different areas of expertise get involved in the process. These characteristics frame the problem solving process and storytelling and the generation of stories. In this short paper, I will identify some design issues to consider when designing computer-support for storytelling.","PeriodicalId":390207,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siggroup Bulletin","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128454183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This change has brought about diversification of needs in learning. Therefore, development of novel learning styles, which can satisfy various needs based on each learner's interests, knowledge, and so on, is strongly demanded. In this research, a synthetic environment for supporting novel learning styles has been developed.This paper mainly describes algorithms for supporting instructors to grasp learning situation, which is quite important for effective guidance. Specifically, algorithms for constructing valuable support knowledge based on visualization of learning information are developed. Algorithms for creating guidance navigation, which manages each instructor's guidance styles and assists his selecting support knowledge, are also developed. Finally, the effectiveness of developed support algorithms has been shown by experiments.","PeriodicalId":390207,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siggroup Bulletin","volume":"219 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116373491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
