At the German Distance Learning University, five collaborative distance learning scenarios have been recently identified by students and teachers as an important future form of in university's virtual space. An analysis these showed a great variance between them need to support runtime tailoring respective environments. Since no existing platform addresses all needs, CURE was developed implementation such variety tailorable is based on room concept supports environments for our scenarios....
Group formation and access rights management become crucial issues when shared workspaces are used to support flexible, emerging group work. End-Users should be able form groups adapt for changing workspaces. Current workspace systems do not this sufficiently. Our approach combines a room metaphor-based with the key-metaphor facilitating both, end-user controlled flexible management. An evaluation of during four month use has indicated that end-users can manage their spaces.
Traditional searching and browsing functions for bibliographic databases no longer enable researchers to deal efficiently with the rapidly growing number of scientific publications. Our project BibRelEx aggregates expert knowledge on a body literature makes it available who wish explore literature. We take two-pronged approach. First, we collect annotations publications their semantic relationships other Second, let this semantically enriched through visualizations. Hence, track relevant...

Zusammenfassung CURE unterstützt selbstorganisiertes kooperatives Lernen in verteilten Gruppen über das Internet. Verteilte Teams können sich mit finden und ihr gemeinsames selbst organisieren sowie gemeinsamen Arbeitsbereichen Lernmaterial kooperativ bearbeiten synchron bzw. asynchron miteinander kommunizieren. Erste Erfahrungen aus dem Pilotbetrieb an der FernUniversität Hagen zeigen, dass die Benutzer von Konzepte zur flexiblen Gestaltung des Gruppenlernens erfolgreich anwenden.
