Conversations in Social Hypertext: Telecommunity and Post-Industrial Work - Social Networking Conference @ U of T

Conversations in Social Hypertext: Telecommunity and Post-Industrial Work - Social Networking Conference @ U of T
Mark Chignell
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
University of Toronto

In this talk, Mark talked about social computing tools for telework using a software that the Interactive Media Lab created called Vocal Village which is a great tool for spatializing audio (better than Skype!). The software was tested in a Japanese company. As well, Mark introduced work about looking at community in online environments, specifically the vaccination groups which is part of my PhD research work.
