authors: Molan, Peter C.

title: The effect of group size and communication modes in CSCW environments

authors: Masoodian, Masood

abstract: An earlier study by M. Masoodian et al. (1995) has examined the impact of different human-to-human communication modes on computer supported work involving groups of two people. Based on the findings of this study an experiment was designed to explore the relative impact of face-to-face and audio-only communication modes in supporting shared-workspace interaction between groups of three people. This paper describes the experiment, and examines its findings with the aim of establishing the relationship between the effectiveness of the various communication modes and the group size.

title: Popoia te reo kia penapena: Nurture the language

authors: Berryman, Mere

subjects: Maori language

abstract: Research to develop a Māori language screening tool (Specialist Education Services, 2001), identified that students entering Māori Medium at five, could be classified into one of four Māori language competency, groups. Concurrently, teachers raised their need to identify the Māori language proficiency of five year olds entering Māori Medium so that more appropriate teaching strategies could be incorporated in preparation for literacy.
Accordingly, three Māori oral-language assessment tools, to help identify the Māori language competency of students entering Māori Medium settings at five years of age and provide formative information, were developed in response to this need. This paper details the development and trial of these tools.
