Svensson, Lars, Sorensen, Carsten, Fagerlind, Hanna and Lindroth, Tomas (2000): Communities of Conflict or Conversation? Online Discources in a Web-Gallery. In: Proceedings of the First Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2000. .

In the summer of 1999 a web-site containing the work of the Swedish artist photographer Elisabeth Olsson was published on the web, (www.eccehomo.nu). The 12 pictures displaying Jesus Christ in a homosexual context, had previously travelled across Europe leaving a trail of public debate and strong feelings. The website was built by researchers at Laboratorium, and a research project monitored all interaction during the first 6 months. The site received extensive mass media attention resulting in approximately 200 000 visitors during the time of the study. Each exposure of the site in national or international press resulted in significant short-term peaks in the access log files. For example the article in the culture section of "Wired news" (Kriz, Wired News 1999), within 1 hour resulted in 3000 hits on the start page.

Svensson, Lars and Sorense, Carsten (2000): Informal Feedback in Distance Education. In: Proceedings of the First Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2000. .

Evaluation in an educational context is often associated with conscious and formal activities directed towards formative or summative purposes (Oliver 1997). In addition, there are also more subtle and informal sources of evaluative feedback that constantly reaches the members of a classroom. The air is literally filled with unobtrusive ephemeral queues that can be interpreted in terms of feedback (Schmidt & Simone, 1996). The students can express their degree of interest and concentration through the way they sit, the expression on their faces, where the look and through other bodylingual expressions. There is a big difference between a student looking directly at the teacher, nodding the head and smiling, and a student with the arms crossed over the chest, starring at the ceiling with a bored yawn. The formal systems and instruments for evaluation can easily be transformed and perhaps even enhanced by the use of IT, but the equally important informal feedback is to a great extent lost in the virtual classroom. Luff & Heath (1992) discuss video-based mediaspaces for collaborative work. Video-conferencing provides poor support for nonverbal communication such as body language, glances and head nods. Factors such as the distance between camera and monitor as well as the delays between action and reaction affects the interaction. In asynchronous text communication, this problem is even exacerbated although 'smileys' and other emoticons can help to reduce the effects.

Svensson, Lars, Nilsson, Stefan, Bengtsson, Fredrik and Johansson, Christian (2000): The WebAwareness Experience - Enhancing a Website with People. In: Proceedings of the First Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2000. .

Most people perceive the World Wide Web primarily as a huge information container, where nodes of information are connected through hyperlinks. To browse the web is like walking in an endless library where books, journals, brochures, video-clips and scraps of papers are spread on the shelves and tables with little or no systematic structure to guide the visitor.

Bernheim, Bo-Goran and Svensson, Lars (2000): Mind Your Own Business - Searching for Support for Information and Interaction Overload. In: Proceedings of the First Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 2000. .

Working in the knowledge sector means dealing with increasing amounts of information, technology and people. Trying to cope with this situation can be stressful, and the tools to help us are often not adjusted to the terms of life in the Internet age. Departing from a study of a group of IT consultants, this poster advocates the need for ICT systems that addresses the whole spectrum of problems concerning 'overload' with respect to both information and interaction.
