Ubiquitous Computing

  • Beyond the Graphing Calculator. Jeremy Roschelle. There are many conceivable reduced-function computers that could address specific educational issues at very low cost. Can we define sets of low-cost requirements that would provide valuable functionality in specific educational settings? What are the current and near-term costs? This concept paper will address this general issue and identify one or more particularly attractive examples. (Rich Text Format/MS Word compatible)

  • Datagotchi Deep Dive. This report provides scenarios illustrated with color sketches and a summary the outcomes  from a small workshop organized by Jeremy Roschelle of CILT/SRI and Michael Mills of IDEO to generate new ideas and designs for low-cost handheld mathematical tools for collaborative learning. The scenarios show different possible uses of handheld computers for teaching and learning mathematics. (PDF format)

  • Smart Probes. Stephen Bannasch and Bob Tinker. With the advent of RISC microcontrollers costing a dollar, it is now possible to migrate intelligence into probes and sensors. This paper will describe possible near and long-term implementations and their educational applications. (Rich Text Format/MS Word compatible)

  • Penuel, B., & Roschelle, J. (2000). Designing learning: Cognitive science principles for the innovative organization.  First in a paper series: Designing learning principles and technologies. A.L. Cohen (Series Editor).  Menlo Park, CA: SRI International.  This paper examines how innovative companies can use principles from cognitive science and use them to design training and learning environments supported by technology. Key principles from the cognitive science of learning are reviewed as they can be observed in the way people participate in different workplace activities.

  • Penuel, B., Trondsen, E., Patton, K. (2000). New workplace learning technologies: Activities and exemplars. Second in a paper series: Designing learning principles and technologies. A.L. Cohen (Series Editor).  Menlo Park, CA: SRI International. Workplace training programs are now beginning to see the power and usefulness of technology to make company learning ubiquitous and cost-effective. For workers to benefit from them, these new technologies must be designed to support the work practices of a company. These practices and activities in turn must be designed in accordance with the principles of the cognitive science of learning as discussed in our first paper. In this paper, the second in a series, we present some ways that innovative companies have used technology to support more effective and powerful learning for workers and their organizations.

  • Penuel, B. (2000). Coming to the crossroads of knowledge, learning, and technology: Integrating knowledge management and workplace learning. Third in a paper series: Designing learning principles and technologies. A.L. Cohen (Series Editor).  Menlo Park, CA: SRI International. As the global economy continues to transform itself at a rapid pace, companies have come to focus more and more on the importance of creating and managing knowledge. In this paper, we aim to draw attention to examples of companies that have integrated an understanding of how people learn into their knowledge management strategies. We pay particular attention to the ways that collaborative technologies have supported companies in developing integrated learning and knowledge management solutions. We recognize that technology has played a critical role in both knowledge management and in workplace learning, as we discussed in our second paper "New Workplace Learning Technologies: Activities and Exemplars".
