KMi Seminars
Mental imagery, visualisation tools and team work
This event took place on Monday 22 March 2004 at 12:30

 
Dr. Marian Petre Faculty of Maths and Computing, Open University

This talk will describe a series of empirical investigations into the relationship between mental imagery and software visualisation in professional, high-performance programming. It will describe why these programmers tend not to use commercially available visualisation software as well as what tools they build for themselves, how they use the tools they build for themselves, and why they build tools for themselves.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
