Types of Social Software • Blogs: personal Web publishing systems • Wikis: collaborative content management systems • Distributed classification systems • Rich site summary (RSS) feeds • Online social annotation systems • HyLighter hybrid multi-media authoring and annotation system
Factors in the Design of the HyLighter System • Purpose(s) of project or activity • Task perspective • Task environment • Type of content or data: well-structured or unstructured • Type of problem: well-structured or ill-formulated • Type of text or image • How the task is organized • Modes of interaction • Degree of collaboration • Relative expertise of participants
HyLighter System for Learning, Assessment, and Document-Centered Group Work • HyLighter is an embodiment of certain conjectures about how people learn and work together in productive ways. • Data from the field (i.e., both from research and practical use) feeds a continuous development cycle.
HyLighter Terminology • Standard Annotation - Hylights - General comments • Inline Annotation - Inline hylights - Inline general comments
