A Longitudinal Study of Facebook, LinkedIn, & Twitter Use
ACM Computer Human Interaction Conference 2012
We conducted four annual comprehensive surveys of social networking at Microsoft between 2008 and 2011. We are interested in how these sites are used and whether they are considered to be useful for organizational communication and information-gathering. Our study is longitudinal and based on random sampling. Between 2008 and 2011, social networking went from being a niche activity to being very widely and heavily used. Growth in use and acceptance was not uniform, with differences based on…
We conducted four annual comprehensive surveys of social networking at Microsoft between 2008 and 2011. We are interested in how these sites are used and whether they are considered to be useful for organizational communication and information-gathering. Our study is longitudinal and based on random sampling. Between 2008 and 2011, social networking went from being a niche activity to being very widely and heavily used. Growth in use and acceptance was not uniform, with differences based on gender, age and level (individual contributor vs. manager). Behaviors and concerns changed, with some showing signs of leveling off.

Learning Object Evaluation: Computer-Mediated Collaboration and Inter-Rater Reliability
International Journal of Computers and Applications
Learning objects offer increased ability to share learning resources so that system-wide production costs can be reduced. But how can users select from a set of similar learning objects in a repository and be assured of quality? This article reviews recent developments in the establishment of learning object repositories and metadata standards, and presents a formative reliability analysis of an online, collaborative method for evaluating quality of learning objects.

Learning objects offer increased ability to share learning resources so that system-wide production costs can be reduced. But how can users select from a set of similar learning objects in a repository and be assured of quality? This article reviews recent developments in the establishment of learning object repositories and metadata standards, and presents a formative reliability analysis of an online, collaborative method for evaluating quality of learning objects. The method uses a 10-item Learning Object Review Instrument (LORI) within a Convergent Participation evaluation model that brings together instructional designers, media developers, and instructors. The inter-rater reliability analysis of 12 raters evaluating eight learning objects identified specific items in LORI that require further development. Overall, the collaborative process substantially increased the reliability and validity of aggregate learning object ratings. The study concludes with specific recommendations including changes to LORI items, a rater training process, and requirements for selecting an evaluation team.

Learning objects offer increased ability to share learning resources so that system-wide production costs can be reduced. But how can users select from a set of similar learning objects in a repository and be assured of quality? This paper describes an on-line collaborative process for evaluating learning objects. It includes a formative reliability analysis of the process and instrument. The study involved the use of a 10-item evaluation instrument by 12 participants evaluating eight learning objects. The reliability analysis supported the expectation that further development will obtain an instrument and process producing aggregate ratings with sufficient reliability. There are specific recommendations including changes to items, a rater training process, and modifications to the collaborative process. Overall, the collaborative process appeared to substantially increase the reliability and validity of aggregate learning object ratings.

How Faculty Develop and Deliver Online Courses: A Task Analysis
Proceedings of World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications
The institution-wide adoption of web-based learning technologies at the Technical University of British Columbia (TechBC) has led to a significant departure from traditional duties for faculty. This paper reports the study results of a task analysis of course development and delivery processes for faculty at TechBC. The study identified critical tasks for academic staff, the tasks most difficult to do, and why these tasks were a problem. Study participants reported a large proportion of course…
The institution-wide adoption of web-based learning technologies at the Technical University of British Columbia (TechBC) has led to a significant departure from traditional duties for faculty. This paper reports the study results of a task analysis of course development and delivery processes for faculty at TechBC. The study identified critical tasks for academic staff, the tasks most difficult to do, and why these tasks were a problem. Study participants reported a large proportion of course authoring is done off-campus and outside the web development environment. Participants also reported excessive time required for data management tasks associated with team management and assignment grading.

A conferencing system provides the scheduling of virtual meetings with meeting lobbies so that a meeting presenter can conduct a virtual meeting without the need to send out invitations to attendees. A person that wants to conduct a virtual meeting can schedule with the conferencing system a meeting with a meeting lobby. The meeting lobby has an address, but there is no associated privileged information, such as a meeting password. Would-be meeting attendees use the meeting lobby address to enter the meeting lobby as visitors in the lobby, and request to enter the meeting from the meeting lobby. A meeting presenter can then either grant authorization for a visitor in the meeting lobby to enter the meeting, or deny authorization for a visitor in the meeting lobby to enter the meeting. If a visitor in the meeting lobby is denied authorization to enter the meeting from the meeting lobby, the conferencing system removes the visitor from the meeting lobby.

Method to Initiate Server Based Collaboration on E-Mail Attachments
Issued US 10/376,764
Server-based collaboration is initiated by an email. When the user creates the email message with attachments, a collaboration website is provisioned. The collaboration website allows collaborations on the attached documents by the recipients of the message. The ease of collaboration with email and the advantages of the collaboration server are thus both available to the user.

Aggregated View of Content with Presentation According to Content Type
Filed US 20120209850
Architecture that facilitates the discovery of interesting and relevant content by a user in a serendipitous way on a microblogging site. For example, relevant content can be defined as connected to the user, the user's work, and user interests, while interesting content can be defined as content that does not directly affect the user, yet the user chooses to obtain (e.g., for viewing, interacting, etc.). The content can be presented as a tile cluster, where each tile is a specific content type…

For example, relevant content can be defined as connected to the user, the user's work, and user interests, while interesting content can be defined as content that does not directly affect the user, yet the user chooses to obtain (e.g., for viewing, interacting, etc.). The content can be presented as a tile cluster, where each tile is a specific content type (e.g., image, link, post, user recommendations, tags, etc.). Additionally, the content can be obtained and presented relative to a specific temporal setting such as the latest content. The different content types are visually distinguished such that one type of content looks and behaves differently from another content type. The user can also drill into content details from the top content.

The architecture provides efficient discovery and tracking of topics that are of interest to a specific user by enabling users to follow (track) hash tags (#tag) and to receive and view all messages tagged with the hash tag appear in the user's personal feed. Each hash tag has a persisted tag page that aggregates all the associated activity, and includes a list that includes, but is not limited to, the tag followers, the most frequent user (uses the tag the most often in a specific time frame), a description, related tags, for example. The user can receive all the updates in the user's personal feed, and see an aggregation of all the messages and conversations associated with the tag in single place. The user can also mute the tag to prevent the receiving of tag information.
