[Encore] Interesting paper on search behaviour

[Kevin Jepson]

Good Morning Folks
 
I came across this paper on Slashdot today.
 
It is a British study of search and information retrieval behaviour by
people using online information systems.  The analysis discusses changes in
online behaviour by age group.
 
There are several sections that have relevance to Educational MOOs
specifically EnCore because we have graphics and other multimeda
capabilities.
 
The spatial metaphor that underlies MOO technology means we can make use of
some of the non-traditional search behaviours discussed.
 
The paper is a pdf file here:

Enjoy
