Design principles for a collaborative hypervideo user interface concept in mobile environments

Hypervideo content can be understood as a video-based hypermedia information structure providing a user the option to exert influence on the way the video-related content is presented. It offers a user the opportunity to take an active part in the presentation. It has been proven that the combination of interactivity, video content and multimedia documents forming a hypermedia structure is a powerful way to present information. Collaborative knowledge construction within communities on the Internet is a hot topic today, providing support for exchanging and retrieving multimedia content based on group conversation. With this paper, we announce a first approach to a hypervideo collaborative learning interface concept for mobile environments. This approach enables users to extend the interactive video content with multimedia documents during a presentation in order to exchange and share experiences and views with other members within a mobile community.
