实时教育群件系统允许物理上分离的学习者同时在共享的虚拟工作空间中一起工作。这些系统还没有达到面对面学习的互动丰富程度。特别地，工作空间意识是缺乏支持的一个元素：学生需要了解其他学生与共享工作空间的交互情况的最新知识。如果学生要有效地学习和合作，这种意识是必不可少的。我们提出了学生在协作学习情境中需要的几种意识的框架，包括他们的社会意识、任务意识、概念意识和工作空间意识。然后，我们将注意力集中在工作空间意识上，并描述学生在小组学习情况下的特殊意识需求如何取决于他们任务的密切程度，以及他们是否共享相同的视图或对工作空间有不同的视图。根据这些需求，我们为教育群件创建了几个感知小部件的原型。这些小部件帮助学习者在视图分离时保持对其他学习者位置的感知，在共享和分离的视图情况下保持对其他学习者活动的感知，以及其他学习者过去活动的感知。
Real-time educational groupware systems allow physically separated learners to work together in a shared virtual workspace at the same time. These systems do not yet approach the interaction richness of a face-to-face learning situation. In particular, one element poorly supported is workspace awareness: the up-to-the-minute knowledge a student requires about other students’ interactions with the shared workspace. This awareness is essential if students are to learn and work together effectively. We present a framework of several types of awareness required by students in a collaborative learning situation, including their social, task, concept and workspace awareness. We then concentrate on workspace awareness, and describe how particular awareness requirements of students in group learning situations depend on the closeness of their tasks, and whether they are sharing the same view or have separate views into the workspace. From these requirements, we have prototyped several awareness widgets for educational groupware. These widgets help learners maintain awareness of other learners’ locations when their views are separated, of other learners’ activities in shared and separate view situations, and of other learners’ past activities.
