It is, therefore, important to give users
hooks that allow them to connect between tasks, especially when the context changes.
Context is everything!
And Knowledge is always contextual
The ability to generalise knowledge from one
task to another is directly linked to the learner’s
ability to switch contexts
When switching contexts, we sometimes have
to unlearn some things:
Say out loud: 5 - 2 =
7 - 3 =
8 - 5 =
125843 - 2795 =125843 - 2795 =

What is Contextualization?
The circumstances that form the
setting for an event, statement,
or idea, and in terms of which it
can be fully understood.
-Oxford Dictionary
Static
information
A matrix of perceivable,
observable, programmed,
predicted parameters,
events or intents that
define an information
request.
-Information 4.0
Spontaneous
information

Contextualization Means Engaging the User
Understand user’s global process – not just what
s/he does when interacting with your product:
How often is s/he interrupted?
What does s/he do when interrupted?
How long are these interruptions?
What are the other regular tasks the user does that relate to use of
this product?

More About Context
Context State: Snapshot of the user’s current situation - volatile
Context History: Historic record of user’s different past context
states
State Vector: A composite made from a collection of context
states.

A context that only exists for a
short time:
Ephemeral current conditions
Extremely sensitive initial conditions
Unpredictable final conditions
What is a volatile context?

Validity vs. Validation
Valid in time vs. factually validated
Volatile information vs. Persistent
Some information is short-lived.
Needs to be reliable,
valid a very short time
Some information relates to
health, safety, life
Needs to be validated and
persistent

Activity – The Role of Emotion
In pairs, tell each other about a difficulty using a technological
product, and the emotions that that generated.
Make a list of those emotions
We now have a list of emotions that users might feel in front of
your product. What can you design into your product to prevent
those from happening, or to assuage them if they do occur?
What if you could personalise these?

Connectivism and Emotional Energy
Knowledge creation requires personal investment – there is
always an emotional component.
Knowledge needs to be believable and accepted by respected
authorities – thus consensus needs to be built.
In any knowledge-building group there is a shared emotional
network parallel to the communications network, which must be
in resonance.

Resonance
The knowledge field and the
emotional energy pool co-evolve
across the communications network
What can we do to create a
shared emotional energy
pool with users?
Can we do it on line,
without face-to-face
presence?
