A Collaborative Linked Learning Space

Current learning systems typically do not allow students to combine learning materials with additional content, for example materials found on the web. We present a system that enables both educators and students to augment learning resources by creating meaningful links between them. In this way, both students and educators can benefit from the augmentations of others, and relate them to personal knowledge

Evaluating How Students would use a Collaborative Linked Learning Space

Personal interaction with learning materials, (re-)arranging learning resources in a semantically meaningful way is im-portant for comprehension and personal knowledge construc-tion. Current learning systems only enable learners to add simple digital ink or text notes. How would users work with a system for collaboratively augmenting and semanti-cally connecting learning materials with related knowledge resources? This paper presents user studies conducted with both students and educators to elicit users' acceptance, needs and preferences regarding such a learning system
