Revisiting revisitation in computer interaction: organic bookmark management.
According to Milic-Frayling et al. (2004), there are two general ways of user browsing i.e. search (finding a website where the user has never visited before) and revisitation (returning to a website where the user has visited in the past). The issue of search is relevant to search engine technology, whilst revisitation concerns web usage and browser history mechanisms. The support for revisitation is normally through a set of functional built-in icons e.g. History, Back, Forward and Bookmarks. Nevertheless, for returning web users, they normally find it is easier and faster to re-launch an online search again, rather than spending time to find a particular web site from their personal bookmark and history records. Tauscher and Greenberg (1997) showed that revisiting web pages forms up to 58% of the recurrence rate of web browsing. Cockburn and McKenzie (2001) also stated that 81% of web pages have been previously visited by the user. According to Obendorf et al. (2007), revisitation can be divided into four classifications based on time: short-term (72.6% revisits within an hour), medium-term (12% revisits within a day and 7.8% revisits within a week), and long-term (7.6% revisits longer than a week)

I-pot: a new approach utilising visual and contextual cues to support users in graphical web browser revisitation.
With a quarter of the worldâs population now having access to the internet, the area of web efficiency and optimal use is of growing importance to all users. The function of revisitation, where a user wants to return to a website that they have visited in the recent past becomes more important. Current static and textual approaches developed within the latest versions of mainstream web browsers leave much to be desired. This paper suggests a new approach via the use of organic visual and contextual cues to support users in this task area
Hyperhistory, the emergence of the MASs, and the design of infraethics
The Copernican revolution displaced us from the center of the universe. The Darwinian revolution displaced us from the center of the biological kingdom. And the Freudian revolution displaced us from the center of our mental lives. Today, Computer Science and digital ICTs are causing a fourth revolution, radically changing once again our conception of who we are and our âexceptional centrality.â We are not at the center of the infosphere. We are not standalone entities, but rather interconnected informational agents, sharing with other biological agents and smart artifacts a global environment ultimately made of information. Having changed our views about ourselves and our world, are ICTs going to enable and empower us, or constrain us? This paper argues that the answer lies in an ecological and ethical approach to natural and artificial realities. It posits that we must put the âeâ in an environmentalism that can deal successfully with the new issues caused by the fourth revolution
HIPERHISTĂRIA PARA AUXILIAR A CRIANĂA DO 2Âș ANO DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL EM SEU PROCESSO DE ORTOGRAFIZAĂĂO
Neste artigo apresentamos um software educacional, na modalidade de hiperhistĂłria, com atividades lĂșdicas e didĂĄticas para auxiliar os alunos do 2Âș ano do Ensino Fundamental no processo de ortografização. Para a implementação, utilizamosrecursos da multimĂdia e da hipermĂdia, considerando requisitos tĂ©cnicos e pedagĂłgicos, tais como interface, interação e feedback. Destacamos tambĂ©m a importĂąncia dapreservação do meio ambiente trazendo a Floresta AmazĂŽnica, cenĂĄrio da hiperhistĂłria, mais prĂłxima do aluno, atravĂ©s de situaçÔes reais que ocorrem na atualidade. AtravĂ©s daavaliação da hiperhistĂłria, em uma escola de ensino privado de Canoas, constatamos que os alunos interagiram de forma ativa na exploração da hiperhistĂłria, demonstrando interesse e entusiasmo na realização das atividades propostas
