maintaining the system after it has been put into use (Sommerville 2001) – B) (1) <strong>The</strong><br />
application <strong>of</strong> a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development,<br />
operation, <strong>and</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware; that is, the application <strong>of</strong> engineering to<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware. (2) <strong>The</strong> study <strong>of</strong> approaches as in (1) (IEEE 1990).<br />
T<br />
Technology enhanced <strong>learning</strong> (TEL) – the support <strong>of</strong> any <strong>learning</strong> activity through<br />
technology. Whereas CSCL (see above) can be considered a distinct research<br />
community, it is also possible to consider it part <strong>of</strong> TEL. This has been done for<br />
simplicity in the thesis, in which CSCL is referred to in cases where it is relevant to<br />
point to that particular research community or body <strong>of</strong> literature.<br />
Timeline – 1) In the <strong>reflection</strong> <strong>work</strong>shops described in the thesis, a T. is a line drawn<br />
on paper or whiteboard along which are marked events perceived by project<br />
participants to be <strong>of</strong> some importance to the project. 2) A collaboration tool (e.g.<br />
Trac) may include functionality for chronologically displaying (<strong>of</strong>ten fine grained)<br />
actions/events related to the <strong>work</strong> supported by the tool (e.g. all source code updates).<br />
In Trac, the display <strong>of</strong> this chronology is named the Timeline.<br />
Trajectory - “(1) the course <strong>of</strong> any experienced phenomenon as it evolves over time”<br />
<strong>and</strong> “(2) the actions <strong>and</strong> interactions contributing to its evolution” (Strauss 1993,<br />
pp.53-54).<br />
U<br />
Use – the act or practice <strong>of</strong> employing something (Webster Online).<br />
Usage – firmly established <strong>and</strong> generally accepted practice or procedure (Webster<br />
Online).<br />
W<br />
Web 2.0 – This is a concept for which many different definitions <strong>and</strong> explanations<br />
exist. Dohn describes Web 2.0 as practice rather than a set <strong>of</strong> technologies, arguing<br />
that a particular technology may be used in a way that is more or less Web 2.0. Web<br />
2.0, according to Dohn, denotes activities that have most or all <strong>of</strong> the following<br />
characteristics (the last one being necessary):<br />
• “Collaboration <strong>and</strong>/or distributed authorship<br />
• Active, open-access, “bottom-up” participation <strong>and</strong> interactive multi-way<br />
communication<br />
