Our interest in annotations stems from the communicative and cognitive importance of these tools – as aids in information movement, memory, attention, and organization, to name a few.

At this moment, our project encompasses a number of smaller interests.

Consensus-making
We are interested in observing how a group of people come to a consensus in an emergency situation. Specifically, we’d like to know how they use annotations in their interactions, organization, and implementation of emergency plans.

Annotation project
We are using this to get a better idea of the range and possibilities of annotations and other possible conceptualizations.
