- The
Advances in Teaching and Learning Technologies mini-track encourages
research contributions that deal with learning theories, cognition, tools
and their development, enabling platforms, communication media, distance
learning, supporting infrastructures, user experiences, research methods,
social impacts, and/or measurable outcomes as they relate to the area of
technology and its support of improving teaching and learning.
Appropriate usage environments range from same-time, same-place to
anytime, anywhere that increase interactions among the learners and the
teacher/facilitator.
-
- In this
respect, this mini-track is intended to include all aspects of teaching and
learning technologies from the original inceptions of theories and tools
through the measurement of learning outcomes.
On an increasing basis, these types of activities take place in
collaborative settings, both academic and industrial, thus providing a
natural fit within the Collaboration
Systems
and Technology Track.

Deception is defined as messages
and information knowingly transmitted to create a false impression or
conclusion. There are many ways to deceive, such as: lies, fabrications,
concealments, misdirection, bluffs, fakery, mimicry, tall tales, white lies,
deflections, evasions, equivocation, exaggerations, camouflage and strategic
ambiguity. A major risk to our way of life in the 21st century is
the failure to detect and counter deception in all forms of communication. This requires safeguarding our communication and
information systems against manipulation, infiltration, and deception by
adversaries. Yet achieving high information assurance is complicated by the
very speed, complexity, volume, and globality of communication and information
exchange that the communication systems now afford. It is also linked by the
fallibility of human deception detection. The complexity of
detecting and countering deceptions that involve humans as a source, conduit, or
target defies a completely automated solution, and yet we must strive toward
detection of deception from human communication and artifacts from computer
systems.
We are looking
to publish papers in the following areas of deception detection: 1) theories of
deception and detection processes, 2) experimental and longitudinal research
that make humans susceptible to false positives and false negatives, 3) reliable
indicators of deceit under varying task and communication conditions, 4)
training courses, methodologies and computer-assisted training programs to
improve detection abilities, 5) prototypes for automated tools to augment human
detection, 6) techniques and strategies to distinguish truthful from deceptive
information and communications, 7) descriptions of test cases, scenarios,
laboratories and equipment to test and detect deception.

- The goal of this track is to explore the notion of managing
knowledge in today’s distributed environment. Specifically, we are
interested in papers that explore issues, challenges, and case studies of
sharing and leveraging knowledge using new advances in protocols, approaches
or technology in a distributed, collaborative, virtual, or global context.
We are especially interested in novel approaches to traditional barriers
associated with managing knowledge. Moreover,
we welcome not only empirical or theory testing papers but also frameworks,
theory building papers or papers that describe working distributed knowledge
management environments.
-
- Papers may include:
1.
Distributed Project Management and its Implications on Knowledge
Management
- 2.
Virtuality in Organizations and its Effects on Collaborative
Knowledge Management

- Collaboration technologies are seeing widespread adoption and
implementation at all levels of organizations.
However, it is often difficult to quantify the effectiveness of such
systems. We are looking for
papers that do one or more of the following: (1) identify important
dependent variables to examine when measuring the effectiveness of
collaboration technologies; (2)
validate instruments to measure such constructs;
(3) identify and measure experimental manipulations that impact the
effectiveness of collaboration technologies;
and (4) study the
effectiveness of collaboration technology in the field.
We invite papers taking a variety of approaches to address the issues
presented above.
Such approaches might be described as experiments or quasi-experiments, case
studies, surveys, action research, psychometrics, and ethnography.
For example, a researcher may wish to conduct an experiment to test
the effectiveness of various interface designs or, alternatively, a
researcher may conduct a case study or action research initiative that
examines the use of collaborative technology in an actual organization.

This mini-track will focus on the rapidly changing and
evolving use of mobile computing technologies for human-to-human and
human-to-machine interaction, mobile commerce (m-commerce) and collaboration.
These topics include, but are not limited to:
- ·
Conceptual/theory development papers that are well focused,
logically argued, and have the potential to define the scope of MTC research and
practice;
- ·
Experimental papers that are theoretically motivated, yet whose
findings have the potential to interest practitioners;
- ·
Field studies that develop new insight that has the potential to
change current practice or lead to new theories;
- ·
System design and development papers that move beyond the
description of systems and their use by building new concepts for the design and
use of future systems in a variety of settings;
- ·
User adoption, acceptance, and diffusion for specific
technologies, environments and / or applications; and
- ·
User experiences that describe the deployment and management of
MTC environments in education, organizations, and society.

This minitrack will focus
on user experience from real organizations and real problems. The technological
and process advances gained through years of research and practical experience
are shared by the authors of papers in this session. The papers should describe
the recent advances in groupware and knowledge management development and
experiences. The authors should share insights and knowledge gained from their
experiences.
You may consult
last year’s program for a list of titles from HICSS-34 in this minitrack. The
papers in this session describe efforts in process design and planning, and
development of practical guidelines for collaboration and knowledge management.
The papers should discuss insight and lessons learned to real world
applications.
