Abstract

This demonstration will present a system, called I-CAW, which aggregates content from social spaces into a semantic-enriched data browser to promote informal learning. The work pioneers a new way to interact with social content using nudges (in the form of signposts and prompts) that exploit ontologies and semantically augmented content. The results of a user study with I-CAW suggest that semantic nudges are a fruitful way to enhance the interaction in semantic browsers in order to facilitate learning. The demonstration will offer hands-on experience with I-CAW following the settings from the user study.
