| In this paper we present the results of a user study on the usage of social annotation features ? sharing, rating, commenting and tagging ? in collaborative search processes. Making use of our
resource sharing system, LearnWeb2.0, our participants collaboratively searched for resources on a specific theme. The findings show that there is an imbalance between what users share and what they search for. Surprisingly, tagging is less popular than commenting. Further, the results suggest that the content aspect of searching should remain separate from the collaborative aspect of searching. |
