Abstract

The use of graphical models to describe complex topics is very common in teaching, helping students build an adequate model of knowledge presented. Often, students discuss open questions on-line in forums. There backtracking of errors conducted during the creation process is hard to impossible. The individual steps of developing a solution -- the temporal information -- are lost. Graphicuss combines concepts of textual discussion systems and graphical feedback systems. It fosters better discussions and comprehension through access to the temporal information of canvases. Especially self-regulated learning benefits from the addition of temporal information; students' skill acquisition capabilities are amplified. Yet, an intuitive representation of temporal information is still required. Based on image and video processing, we investigated existing metaphors for temporal information. A series of user studies emphasises the differences of the metaphors in varying use-cases and strongly points at a candidate suitable and feasible for PCs as well as mobile devices.
