First a little Background

The WikiHyperGlossary grew out of the MSDS Hyperglossary

developed by Dr. Rob Toreki

First a little Background

• 2006 Bob Hanson & I organized a ConfChem• Rob Toreki and I presented on the MSDS Hyperglossary• Several papers were on Wikis

Rob Torekiwww.ilpi.com

So Why not a WikiHyperGlossary?

The name stuck, even though it is now outdated

Presentation Outline

1. Overview ICTs

2. Challenges for Free Agent (DIY) Learners

3. WHG as an Information Literacy Technology

• Glossary Architecture to Provide Background Knowledge

• Molecular Editor Enabled Knowledge Pathways

The WikiHyperGlossary (WHG) as an Information and Communication Technology

(ICT)

• ICTs determine how humans share and communicate information.

• ICTs determine the cognitive artifacts used to represent and manipulate information

• ICTs influence the schema used to derive knowledge from information

Brief Evolution of ICTsInformation and Communication Technologies

The First ICT Revolution: Textual Representation of Information

With written script the information (story) could be accurately transmitted to the future.

The Manuscript

In the Dark Ages, with so few texts, few outside of the clergy were literate.Even Kings were Illiterate

ICTs in the Digital Age• Web 1.0 (World Wide Web) • Content (write[publish] once/read many)• html/client side scripting • Search services and instant publishing and delivery

• Web 2.0 (Social Web) • Dynamic (write many/read many) content• Server side scripting offering collaborative content generation

• Web 3.0 (semantic web) • Organic knowledge frameworks• Software agents directly extracting online data and exchanging

information• InChI enables cheminformatic functionality

Can digital technologies be developed which enhance learning of material in the Distal Zone through directed scaffolding of content from a

student's ZPD?http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Asm_lecture_hall.jpg

Glossary Architecture to Enhance Learning

"Cognitive scientists agree that reading comprehension requires prior "domain-specific" knowledge about the things a text refers to, …”

-E.D. Hirsch, Jr., "The Knowledge Deficit"

The Importance of Domain Specific Knowledge for Reader Comprehension

•Readers need to know around 90% of the words to be able to infer the meaning of the words they do not know.

•The omitted words, what the text implies but does not say, are as important as the written words

-E.D. Hirsch, Jr., "The Knowledge Deficit"

The Importance of Domain Specific Knowledge for Reader Comprehension

•When an author writes a document, s/he assumes a level of prior knowledge that defines the implicit text, the omitted text.

-E.D. Hirsch, Jr., "The Knowledge Deficit"

“In 1861 the North fought the South”

The Importance of Domain Specific Knowledge for Reader Comprehension

Reading comprehension suffers for documents in one’s Distal Knowledge Space because the prior

knowledge is not there.

The Importance of Domain Specific Knowledge for Reader Comprehension

1. Need to know what the words mean.

2. Need to know the implied knowledge, the knowledge the author assumed the reader knew and omitted when scripting the narrative

Two Core Issues

28

Coupling Social Definitions to Canonical Definitions

Non-editable IUPAC definition of entropy

with citation

Wiki generated social multimedia definition of

appropriate ZPD to provide subject-domain background knowledge

for reading comprehension

29

Coupling Social Definitions to Canonical Definitions

As you scroll down you can get up to 4 social definitions targeting different

ZPD with multimedia elements

Video

30

Can embedding in a document social produced multimedia ZPD-appropriate definitions be done at a sufficient term

density to provide enough background knowledge for novices to generate understanding in a document which would

otherwise be in their distal zone?
