Advances
in Teaching and Learning Technologies
The Learning Systems minitrack encourages research contributions that deal
with learning theories, cognition, tools and theirdevelopment, enabling
platforms, communication media, distance learning, supporting infrastructures,
user experiences, research methods, social impacts, or measurable outcomes as
they relate to improving teaching and learning. Appropriate usage environments
range from same-time, same-place to anytime, anywhere that increase interactions
among the learners and the teacher/facilitator.

Detection of
Deception
Deception is defined as messages and information knowingly transmitted to
create a false impression or conclusion. There are many ways to deceive, such
as: lies, fabrications, concealments, misdirection, bluffs, fakery, mimicry,
tall tales, white lies, deflections, evasions, equivocation, exaggerations,
camouflage and strategic ambiguity. A major risk to our way of life in the 21st
century is the failure to detect and counter deception in all forms of
communication. This requires safeguarding our communication and information
systems against manipulation, infiltration, and deception by adversaries. Yet
achieving high information assurance is complicated by the very speed,
complexity, volume, and globality of communication and information exchange that
the communication systems now afford. It is also linked by the fallibility of
human deception detection. The complexity of detecting and countering
deceptions that involve humans as a source, conduit, or target defies a
completely automated solution, and yet we must strive toward detection of
deception from human communication and artifacts from computer systems.
We are looking to publish papers in the following areas of deception detection:
· theories of deception and detection processes
· experimental and longitudinal research that make humans susceptible to false positives and false negatives
· reliable indicators of deceit under varying task and communication conditions
· training courses, methodologies and computer-assisted training programs to improve detection abilities
· prototypes for automated tools to augment human detection
· techniques and strategies to distinguish truthful from deceptive information and communications
· descriptions of test cases, scenarios, laboratories and equipment to test and detect deception.

technology in a distributed, collaborative, virtual, or global context. We are
especially interested in novel approaches to traditional barriers associated
with managing knowledge. Moreover, we welcome not only empirical or theory
testing papers but also frameworks, theory building papers or papers that
describe working distributed knowledge management environments. Potential

Measuring
the Effectiveness of Collaboration Technologies
Collaboration technologies are seeing widespread
adoption and implementation at all levels of organizations, from temporary or
long-term project teams to large scale inter-organizational systems such as
extranets and wide area networks. However, it is often difficult to quantify
the effectiveness of such systems.
With that in mind, we are looking for papers that do one or more of the following:

Problem-based Learning
Systems and Technologies
Human understanding is a key component in today’s knowledge
economy. To capitalize on this component, organizations are placing increasing
importance on systems to support learning. These are complex systems comprised
of learners, instructors, processes, protocols, hardware, and software. The
interaction of Problem-based learning (PBL) methods and technology offers great
potential as a foundation for exploring these learning systems.
This mini-track is intended as a forum for researchers and practitioners to
demonstrate the integration of problem based learning and technology. This mini
track is especially interested in papers that:
· Discuss and demonstrate how technology can be used for Problem Based Learning;
· Provide protocols or detailed processes for using technology to participants for problem based learning;
· Report research findings with problem based learning methods.

User Experience
This minitrack will focus on user experience from real organizations and real
problems. The technological and process advances gained through years of
research and practical experience are shared by the authors of papers in this
session. The papers should describe the recent advances in groupware and
knowledge management development and experiences. The authors should share
insights and knowledge gained from their experiences.
You may consult last year’s program for a list of titles from HICSS-34 in this
minitrack. The papers in this session describe efforts in process design and
planning, and development of practical guidelines for collaboration and
knowledge management. The papers should discuss insight and lessons learned to
real world applications.
