Our work is in part an attempt to realize Vannevar Bush's idea of "associative trails", part of his "memex" vision. Bush wanted linear sequences of 'frames' to be found and transferred between people. Hyperlinks and bookmark collections (even social ones) do not satisfy this vision. | Our work is in part an attempt to realize Vannevar Bush's idea of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex#Associative_trails "associative trails"], part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex his "memex" vision].

This work rests upon the theory of cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1987), which in turn inherits from cognitive modeling. In cognitive apprenticeship, a learner is exposed to the normally-tacit cognitive processes that give an expert their expertise. These processes are often subconscious and the expert may not even be aware of them. | This work rests upon the theory of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_apprenticeship cognitive apprenticeship] (Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1987), which in turn inherits from cognitive modeling.

In LineHive, other surfers are able to see the browsing and searching strategies of their peers. We hypothesize that increasing the ability for users to send path information to peers will increase the sender's own metacognitive awareness of the path they are taking, turning searchers into "reflective practitioners" (Schon, 1983) of web search. | In LineHive, other surfers are able to see the browsing and searching strategies of their peers.
