공동작업을 위한 어플리케이션 공유는 여러 시스템에 분산되어 있는 개발도구와 어플리케이션을 공유하여 다수의 참여자가 공간적으로 제약받지 않고 공동 개발할 수 있도록 한다. 그러나 가상공간에 개념을 둔 CSCW에 기존의 어플리케이션 공유 방식을 적용하기에는 3차원이라는 공간적인 요소를 고려하지 않은 문제점을 가지게 된다. 또한 기존의 CSCW에 비해서 가상공간에 기반을 둔 CSCW 어플리케이션 개발은 가상 공간과 다중 참여자를 고려해서 개발하여야 하기 때문에 개발자에게 매우 어려운 작업이다. 따라서, 이 논문에서는 다중 참여자를 지원하는 VRML 기반 어플리케이션 공유 엔진을 설계하였다. 설계된 VRML 기반 어플리케이션 공유 엔진은 참여자 사이트로 에이전트를 이동시켜 웹 브라우져 내의 VRML 가상 공간에서 참여자의 어플리케이션 대한 3차원상의 이벤트를 2차원적인 상대값으로 바꾸고 실제 어플리케이션상의 이벤트로 변환하는 메커니즘을 도입하여 VRML 가상공간에서 어플리케이션을 공유를 가능하게 하였다. 또한 참여자 이벤트를 처리하는 스케줄러를 도입하여 참여자의 이벤트를 순서적이고 참여자 간의 충돌을 해결할 수 있었으며 가상환경이 VRML로 구성되기 때문에 운영체제에 독립적이고 웹상에서 어플리케이션 공유가 가능하였다. 그리고 가상환경을 위한 CSCW 응용 개발에 대한 오버헤드를 줄이고 기존 윈도우 어플리케이션을 가상공간에 사용함으로서 기존 어플리케이션의 재사용성을 높일 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of learners' participation and interactions both quantitatively and qualitatively based on the learners' choices of topic patterns in a process of online debate of a general subject and to explore the effects in order to suggest the ways for activating online debates. For this, it quantitatively analyzed the messages and the patterns in the online debate boards and supplementally implemented a post survey in order to investigate the participants' recognition on the factors of the learners' interactions and the effects. The given topic patterns were 'the presentation of one's opinion' and 'the presentation of pros and cons.' As a result of the analysis, the participating degree was higher in the pattern of 'the presentation of one's opinion' apart from the previous study. This study surveyed and, based on the result, it proposed the teachers should refer to the participants' tendency in advance. Also, it presented the deeper meanings on the interactions extracted by the results of the survey. The learners showed the strong dependence on the teacher' lectures or his materials and a variety of interactions with diverse objects. Besides, it is revealed that debates are helpful factors for enhancing learners' argumentative thinking, writing skills, and the knowledge about the subject in terms of the participants' recognition. Based on the findings, this study emphasized the teachers' educational roles and suggested the educational effects of the online debates in each class should be activated in this era of distance education.

최근 WWW(World Wide Web)이 확산되면서, 정보들을 좀 더 자유롭게, 시간과 공간의 제약을 받지 않으면서 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만, 초기 Web 기반 기술은 2차원적이고, 수동적인 정보를 제공하는 정도였다. 이에 비해 사용자들은 좀 더 실제의 세계와 유사한 3차원 환경에서, 능동적으로 참여하기를 원했고 이런 사용자들의 욕구에 발 맞춰 많은 기술들이 쏟아져 나오기 시작했다. 본 논문에서는 최신의 VRML과 JAVA기술들을 활용하여 Web 상에서 3차원 실시간 방송 시스템을 구현하였다 클라이언트가 직접 방송에 참여하거나 관람만 할 수 있는 모드를 제공하고 있으며, 실제 방송 참여자들은 자신의 아바타(avatar)를 선택하여 행동 콘트롤러와 자동 행동 발생시스템을 통해 좀 더 동적인 동작과 함께 방송에 참여할 수 있도록 하였으며, 일반 관람인의 경우 웹상에서 실시간으로 방송이 진행되는 모습을 볼 수 있다.

인터넷상에서 3차원 가상공간을 구현할 때는 VRML(Vitual Reality Modeling Language)을 이용하여 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 VRML 만을 이용하면 단일 사용자에 한하여 사용되고,간단한 채팅이나 다른 사용자의 움직임을 처리할 수 가 없다. 그러므로 자바 애플릿을 사용하여 다중 참여가 가능한 웹 페이지를 작성하여 보다 현실적인 가상공간을 만들 수 있게 된다. 본 논문은 VRML로 가상공간 저작시 자바 애플릿을 이용하여 다중참여가 가능한 웹 페이지를 설계하고 구현하는 방법으로, EAI(External Authoring Interface)를 이용하여 외부의 자바 애플릿으로 VRML세계를 제어함으로써 사용자의 움직임과 입력에 따른 처리와 다른 참여자들의 행위까지 나타낼수 있도록 저작하여 다중 참여를 구현한다. 다중 참여를 지원하는 가상공간을 구축함과 동시에 기존의 VRML 브라우저를 이용하기 때문에 응용이 용이하게 되며 3차원 채팅과 가상교육 각종 게임 등의 분야에 활용할 수 있다.

This article assesses and examines democratic potentials of the Internet for U.S. citizens' political participation. The empirical analysis on the data from Pew Research Center's questionnaire survey focuses on four different political activities in both online and offline modes: casual political talk, contact with a government official, petition, and political contribution. The study answers two research inquiries: 1) How does the Internet influence the established patterns of political participation?; and 2) How does the Internet influence the demographic distribution of participatory inequality? Firstly, the Internet, by providing existing participants with additional tools for participation, reinforces conventional participation, rather than mobilizing new participation in politics. Secondly, the online patterns of the participation divide with respect to demographic characteristics imitate the traditional patterns of inequality and disproportionate representativeness in political participation. The Internet is still not a predominant medium for political activities. Citizens' utilization of its transformative and mobilizing potentials remains limited.

This study deals with the effect of learner's self-regulated learning strategy in the non-real-time online discussion. Based on these research results, it was suggested self-regulated learning strategy should be utilized in order to enhance the cognitive dimension participation and discussion satisfaction quality of non-real-time online discussion.

This study targeted volunteers to identify the variables that affect the attitude for participating in the volunteer activities going forth, and their effect. The independent are consisted of personal characteristic variables, participation related variables, management process variables. As for the dependent variables, they included the will to participate continually and degree of participation. The major findings are as follows : First, volunteer work agency try to activate housewives' participants. Second, the volunteer work agency need to improve and develop the programs which are consisted of more 3-hours per participation and three times per month. Third, so the motivations are the most important variables affect the sustainability, volunteer programs must be established to realize effective experience learning and social participation. Forth, a systematic management for the volunteer programs must be established to activate more participation.

This study develops an informal science education program based on a creative design for the promotion of participation and action and explores the validity and effectiveness of the program. The program consists of three mini-projects, namely, The Martian: Surviving from the Mars, So Good to Have Seonjeongneung, and Designing a Sunshine Restaurant, with distinct topics focusing on the localization and contextualization of the region in which the program was implemented to encourage students' participation and action. The researchers selected three topics for each mini-project through discussions and revisions. The program is designed for 42 lessons across the three mini-projects and offers a presentation session in which students present their learnings from the program, constructed to facilitate personal contextualization. Participants included 15 elementary school students from Grades 5 and 6 who took surveys before and after the program. The pre-post surveys comprised two dimensions, 'Participation and Action' and 'Positive Experience about Science,' to examine the effectiveness of the program. At the end of the survey, we added a self-descriptive question that allows students to freely write down their feelings and thoughts. We checked the students' thoughts. The effectiveness of the program was illustrated by the largest increase in the "safe society" category, whereas there was little increase in other categories under the 'participation and Action' dimension in the Korean Science Education Standards. 'Science-related Self-concept' exhibited the largest increase, whereas the other categories displayed little increase from the 'Positive Experience about Science' dimension category.

Application sharing for collaborative works make multiple participants to be capable of collaborative developments through sharing development tools and applications which is distributed to various system without spatial restriction. However, applying legacy application sharing to CSCW based virtual environment has a problem because it dont consider 3D space and it disturbs the harmonic interaction of participants. In this study, we designed application sharing system for collaborative works in 3D virtual environment to share application effectively on collaborative virtual environment. The designed application sharing system for collaborative works in 3D virtual environment consist of application sharing manager, group manager and communication manager. This system is able to perceive event of 3D space about application of participant on 3D virtual environment by agent which moves to participant sites and get an ordered events and conflict among participants through scheduling. Therefore, designed application sharing system for collaborative work in 3D virtual environment can support efficient collaborative works and improve reusability of legacy application through using easily legacy application in 3D virtual environment when CSCW application development for virtual environments.
