Intelligence Augmentation
- Overview:
The human mind is limited, making collaboration with other humans and with
things (in our case with computational environments) a necessity rather than
a luxury. Relevant knowledge for work and for learning is distributed in our
head, in the heads of others, and in the environment.
Learning webs are used by (virtual) communities of practice. Domain-oriented
design environments (DODEs) support learning webs by allowing all
stakeholders in a design process to learn and work collaboratively with each
other and with their computational environments. DODEs serve as models for
the design of collaborative working and learning environments by exploring
and supporting different relationships and task responsibilities between
humans and computers.
DODEs integrate working and learning by grounding learning in self-directed,
authentic activities. They support learning on demand as an essential
element of life-long learning. The creation of DODEs faces the fundamental
challenge to make them simultaneously learner-directed and supportive. DODEs
transcend other computer-supported cooperative learning systems, which
employ the computer only as a medium with few interpretable components. They
integrate humans and computational resources more creatively by
acknowledging that persons become skill resources only when they consent to
do so, whereas computational environments are available at the bidding of
the user.
