Knowledge Media Design Institute
Joel Alleyne
Research Themes:
* Knowledge media for learning - the application of computer, communications, and cognitive sciences to knowledge building, problem solving, planning, education, and training, especially to facilitate collaborative, distance and multimedia-based learning
* Technologies for knowledge media - research and development of technologies and the technological infrastructure required to construct knowledge media, including interactive computer graphics, scientific visualization, hypertext, multimedia, databases, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence
* Human-centred design - the design science of human-computer interaction and of the creation of innovative computer systems and interfaces appropriate for human use, and more generally in the human factors of complex real-world systems and t echnologies, as rooted in research from applied cognitive science, psychology, and sociology
* Knowledge media, culture, and society - reflection and analysis of the social implications of the increasing reliance on new technologies. As information and new media technologies challenge fundamental beliefs, this area of research deals broadly with such issues as the nature of communities and institutions, work and employment, the balance of public and private good, privacy, copyright and intellectual property.
