Each one of us has our own way of managing personal in- formation. We have to decide on organizational structures and among other things about placement and naming of in- formation items. Most of the knowledge behind information management decisions is only known to its owner. Most of it is also lost in formal organization structures and cannot be deciphered by an outsider. However, even if personal space of information holds our own personal note, it still carries a lot of collaboration activities as tasks and projects often involve other people. In our study on the difference between how people manage project-related information and how they perceive and visualize it (tacit knowledge), several collaboration practices emerged. We grouped our observa- tions of collaboration into three categories: (1) the creation of a personal information collection out of shared informa- tion, (2) the use of email as an essential tool for file distri- bution and (3) the linkage of project collaborators to their files rather than projects.

Personal information management (PIM) is a study on how people handle, store, classify, organize, maintain, archive personal information to support their needs and tasks. In the last decade a lot of studies focused on how people acquire, organize, maintain and retrieve information from their information spaces with a focus on offices, electronic documents, email and web bookmarks and the fragmentation of information between these collections. Results have led to many research prototypes that tried to either augment present tools or integrate these collections within entirely new designs. However, not much has changed in the present tools, and hierarchies still prevail as the storage foundation. Our research aims at understanding the difference between how people organize their information in various applications and physical space and how they actually think of this information in relation to tasks they have to accomplish. We carried out a preliminary study and are currently finishing another study which both show that there is a difference on how information is organized in formal structures on computers and physical spaces and how it is thought of in users’ heads. These findings have motivated the design of an application that tries to mimic the latter.

Title: Personal information management on personal computers
Mentor: prof. dr. Franc Solina
Institution: University of Ljubljana
Department: Faculty of Computer and Information Science
Published: June, 2008
We are surrounded with rapidly increasing amounts of information in digital form that we try to manage in our virtual environments on personal computers. In this process of managing information we come across two major obstacles. The first one is the software that we use to handle information. Its concepts were developed over thirty years ago and it exceedingly lacks support to our way of thinking, organizing and retrieving things. The second obstacle are different technological formats of information (files, e-mail and web pages) which form a complete information set but have to be managed in separate tools.
Development of management software is slow and future guidelines do not show any radical improvements. None of these tools support managing as a whole. To develop such tools we need to fully understand our way of managing things which to some extent has already been done. The first part of the theses is an overview of previous research and several development tools which tried to solve some of the obstacles. The main focus of the theses is on an attempt to understand how files, emails and web sites (or bookmarks) are related and how users manage them together within different software. It was already demonstrated that we create directories with equal names in all three hierarchies. But we still do not understand how are separate items (files, emails, web pages) connected. We also tried to understand which information is important to users, where it comes from and how users manage it. The results showed that users form an interconnected map between various items and not directories, that very few important items stay important for a longer period of time and most of important information is created by ourselves.
Based on our results and previous research we presented some concepts which would better support our way of managing personal information but this has yet to be proved. Lack of research of different concepts, models and familiarity with existing software are holding the so needed development of managing software back.

In the last years, numerous papers were published comparing different learning management systems (LMS). Some of them dealt with only few comparison criteria, while others included almost every imaginable feature. When faced to do a comparison ourselves, we came across many of such papers and did a research of what authors considered relevant in an LMS. By comparing papers written in different years, we tried to find out if there is a pattern of features linked to a certain time period, how a demand for new features was evolving through time, and how did LMS developers respond to this demand. We also tried to figure out the present demands and which new features will be included in future versions of LMSs.

Title: Extending traditional learning by enforcing collaboration and self-assessment
Conference Information: 29th International Conference on Information Technology Interfaces, JUN 25-28, 2007 Cavtat, Croatia

The paper presents a way to overcome the shortcomings of traditional learning by enforcing collaboration between students and introducing self-assessment as part of the process of final grade formation. Treating collaboration and self assessment as two elements of a modern learning process that are very closely bounded together, the authors argue that these elements should by no means replace the traditional (ex-cathedra) way of learning but rather extend it. A specifically designed computer science course is presented as an illustration of how the introduction of self-assessment combined with teacher evaluation can encourage collaboration between students. The benefits and drawbacks of this method are discussed.

The paper describes conditions that influenced the implementation of new technologies in educational organizations for adult learners and presents a project of deployment of ICT assisted learning for underprivileged groups of adults. The aim was to foster quality of teaching and learning and raise digital literacy. Instructional design for adult learners with poor learning skills, collaboration skills and ICT knowledge was formed, and interoperability within different technological conditions, systems and delivery platforms was built. Information communication educational technologies were implemented in three forms: (1) multimedia learning material on a CD-ROM for personal computers without Internet connection, (2) computer supported learning environment for guided self-directed learning, and (3) computer supported collaborative learning environment.

Traditional learning environments are today placed face to face with information and communication technologies (ICT) which gradually ambush visible place in education. For this reason it is important for both students and tutors to be capable to use new methods of supplying and receiving the knowledge. One of possible methods are online learning management systems (LMS) which incorporate principles of social constructionism which is based on the idea that we all better acquire new knowledge within a social process when communicating facts to others and base new knowledge on already known facts. We introduced such online learning environment to a first year students at the Faculty of Education with no previous knowledge or little knowledge of ICT usage. We tried to find out how much time a future preschool teachers need to gain satisfying level of digital literacy and competences for learning and teaching skills with information and educational technology (IET).

Title: Piles of thumbnails - Visualizing document management

Digital information is present in everyone's life. Most of the time we spend in front of a computer is in managing (processing, creating, editing, searching, and organizing), digital documents. Current tools for managing digital information are based on concepts developed over 40 years ago. Even with the desktop metaphor and improved visualization, these methods do not support management of large amounts of information. This paper provides an overview of the current state of personal information management and suggests a design based on a ?piles of documents? metaphor that more closely supports the working habits of many users.

Title: The effect of animated transitions on user navigation in 3D tree-maps

This paper describes a user study conducted to evaluate the use of smooth animated transitions between directories in a three-dimensional, tree-map visualization. We looked specifically at the task of returning to a previously visited directory after either an animated or instantaneous return to the root location. The results of the study show that animation is a double-edged sword. Even though users take more shortcuts, they also make more severe navigational errors. It seems as though the promise of a more direct route to the target directory, which animation provides, somehow precludes users who navigate incorrectly from applying a successful recovery strategy.
