Sidewiki, Diigo, ShiftSpace... Bubbl, MindMeister, Cmaps... We'd like to meet others interested in or doing web annotation and web-based knowledge mapping, which are key enabling technologies for learners to express their interpretations of what a resource means: meaning is in the eye of the beholder. | |||
We'll offer people the chance to play with our prototype, Cohere, an open source tool which seeks to join up Web Annotation (inc. social bookmarking) and Knowledge Mapping. | |||
We want to combine the best of these tools to provide online lifelong learners with a way to map their ideas while at the same time browsing and annotating OERs and other free Web resources. BUT we know we're not there yet, so come and tell us how to make it better :-)<br> | We want to combine the best of these tools to provide online lifelong learners with a way to map their ideas while at the same time browsing and annotating OERs and other free Web resources.

We will get useful usability test and feedback in order to improve the Cohere interface and user experience. | A better understanding of what's available for web annotation and knowledge mapping. | ||
We will get useful usability test and feedback in order to improve the Cohere interface and user experience. Participants will learn about new ways to interact with the Web as a "notebook", use network visualizations to search and explore their notes and exploit bookmarking to organize them. | |||
Participants will get to know the Cohere team, and can take home leaflets, exercises, and maybe a Ltd. Edition T-Shirt for giving us great user feedback! | |||
