aha!! collaboration platform for the folks who still cannot let go of e-mail!

1. Setup your group Enter email addresses of people you want to be tgethr with and pick a group address like family@tgethr.com 2. Start communicating Start sending email to the group address and everyone will automatically receive a copy. 3. Keep an archive Attach files, include links to videos, audio, or images. Even cc: or bcc: the group address for everyone to read. It will all be archived for you on the web. WHY WE BUILT TGETHR: * Web-based only collaboration solutions have too much overhead we never used * We were inadvertently sharing company secrets too often over email or via web-based collaboration tools * Email is still our primary communication mechanism and didn't intersect well with collaboration solutions we tried * Some people in our company didn't feel comfortable being on the "bleeding edge" of web-based collaboration tools and just want to use email

The curricula in which we are developing and refining learning activity type taxonomies appear on the left. Those that have taxonomies available for your perusal and feedback have links to other pages in this wiki.

The Cognition Laboratory is a part of the Human-Automation Integration Research Branch at NASA Ames Research Center. We conduct research which involves modeling the human operator in human-machine systems and experiments on normal human perceptual and cognitive processes. Current modeling efforts focus on the task of the human operator in Air Traffic Control. Experiments range from basic to applied. All experiments are administered via computer, with participants watching the monitor and answering by using the keyboard or mouse. Examples of experiments include attentional control, dual-tasking, and the detection of conflicts in an Air Traffic Control display.
