Computer Supported Collaborative Research

It is suggested that a new area of CSCR (Computer Supported Collaborative Research) is distinguished from CSCW (Computer Supported Collaborative Work) and CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) and that the demarcation between the three areas could do with greater clarification and prescription. Although the areas of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), CSCW, and CSCL are now relatively well established, the related field of Computer Supported Collaborative Research (CSCR) is new and little understood. An analysis of the principles and issues behind CSCR is undertaken with a view to determining precisely its nature and scope and to delineate it clearly from CSCW and CSCL. This determination is such that it is generally applicable to the building, design and evaluation of collaborative research environments. A particular instance of the CSCR domain is then examined in order to determine the requirements of a collaborative research environment for students and supervisors (CRESS).

A Review of Papers that have a bearing on an Analysis of User Interactions in A Collaborative On-line Laboratory

A number of papers have been reviewed in the areas of HCI, CSCW, CSCL. These have been analyzed with a view to extract the ideas relevant to a consideration of user interactions in a collaborative on line laboratory which is being under development for use in the ITO BSc course at Southampton University. The construction of new theoretical models is to be based upon principles of collaborative HCI design and constructivist and situational educational theory. An investigation of the review papers it is hoped will lead towards a methodology/framework that can be used as guidance for collaborative learning systems and these will need to be developed alongside the requirements as they change during the development cycles. The primary outcome will be the analysis and re-design of the online e-learning laboratory together with a measure of its efficacy in the learning process.

HCI and Educational Metrics as Tools for VLE Evaluation

The general set of HCI and Educational principles are considered and a classification system constructed. A frequency analysis of principles is used to obtain the most significant set. Metrics are devised to provide objective measures of these principles and a consistent testing regime devised. These principles are used to analyse Blackboard and Moodle.

Further Evaluationh of VLEs using HCI and Educational Metrics

Under consideration are the general set of Human computer Interaction (HCI) and Educational principles from prominent authors in the field and the construction of a system for evaluating Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) with respect to the application of these HCI and Educational Principles. A frequency analysis of principles is used to obtain the most significant set. Metrics are devised to provide objective measures of these principles and a consistent testing regime is introduced. These principles are used to analyse the University VLE Blackboard. An open source VLE is also constructed with similar content to Blackboard courses so that a systematic comparison can be made. HCI and Educational metrics are determined for each VLE.

Will the Butterfly Cipher keep your Network Data secure? Developments in Computer Encryption

This paper explains the recent developments in security and encryption. The Butterfly cipher and quantum cryptography are reviewed and compared. Examples of their relative uses are discussed and suggestions for future developments considered. In addition application to network security together with a substantial review of classification of encryption systems and a summary of security weaknesses are considered.

From Digital Television to Internet?

This paper provides a general technical overview of the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) specifications. MHP is a generic interface between digital applications and user machines, whether they happen to be set top boxes, digital TV sets or Multimedia PC's. MHP extends the DVB open standards. Addressed are MHP architexture, System core and MHP Profiles.

Should Cyberspace Chat Rooms be closed to protect Children?

The explosion of people networking in cyberspace, disseminating terabytes of information, is being promoted through the use of broadband, bluetooth technology, and wireless mobile computing facilities. New communities within such venues as virtual chat rooms discussion groups, newsgroups etc are being created daily and even hourly. This is raising issues of cyberethics concerning privacy,security, crime, human needs, e-business, e-healthcare, e-government and intellectual property among others that need to be evaluated and reflected upon. With this new freedom come new moral and ethical responsibilities, which raise questions as to whether anything can be published or whether there should be restrictions. This paper addresses one specific area, that has come into the public eye, the closure by Microsoft of all of its free chat rooms.
