Modelling complexities of learner’s in handling web texts via abstract scene analysis / Nasiroh Omar

Handling Web texts is a must activity for learners in higher education. Learners
constantly seek, read and retrieve text from the Web. Yet, there is lack of existing system
that provides an integrated environment for learners to self-assess their capability of
handling the Web text and receive instant feedback in a real-life setting. This paper
presents a grounding work on understanding complexities in Web text-handling activities
at temporal level to gain its temporal contexts and interaction semantics. This work
employs goal directed approach to orchestrate four personas in their respected
scenarios. Then, the personas and scenarios are carefully examined by using abstract
scene analysis in order to produce two models of Web text-handling activities. These
models have been used as the bases for the Web Text-handling Support System
implemented as part of the research.
