Observing professionals taking notes on screen

In this study 38 participants wrote a piece of advice based on reading and annotating information from an extensive Web site. Half of the participants took notes in a separate window, the other half used an advanced annotation tool. In text annotations were far more used than separate notes. The frequency with which features of the note-taking tool notes was used depends on the phase in the process. The association between process phase and the use of features is less clear for the annotation tool. Requirements are formulated for the design of annotation tools

User Motives for Tagging Video Content

User tagging of video content provides many possibilities for indexing and personalization. To exploit these possibilities, users must be willing to tag the video content they watch. In this paper we present the first results of our ongoing research, by constructing an overview of user motives to tag video content. We present the results of a study in which we elicited possible user motives to tag movies on the internet. The identified motives include the categories ‘indexing’, ‘socializing’ and ‘communicating’. Finally, user barriers to tag video content are discussed

100 Years Bauhaus. What Interest Do We Take In Modern Movement Today?

In 2019 DOCOMOMO Germany and the Detmold School of Architecture and Interior Architecture at Ostwestfalen-Lippe, University of Applied Sciences (TH OWL) with the Erasmus+-Project ‘Reuse of Modernist Buildings‘ (RMB) organized the 16th DOCOMOMO Germany and 3rd RMB Conference. The international conference in Berlin took place on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus and as an opportunity to discuss the significance of modernity in the 21st century. The conference focus lies on the concepts, visions, and impulses emanating from Modern Movement and how they can be related to today’s social, economic, cultural and in particular creative issues. This second Docomomo publication includes a selection of eleven papers that were not included in the original online conference proceedings (http://www.rmb-eu. com/publications/). The papers witness in a particular way the dominating themes and typologies of Modern Movement. They also demonstrate manifold reuse and conservation approaches—conceptually, aesthetically and technically. They are expression of the intensive investigation and documentation efforts of members and supporters of DOCOMOMO together with the academic and professional community
