Desktop and Web – Media for Creative Thought – At Least Sometimes.
Matthias Müller-Prove at Cognitive Design Congress, LearnTec, Karlsruhe, Germany

Abstract

Personal computers (still) use the desktop metaphor to provide a familiar working environment. In addition, the browser grants access to the world wide web of information and communication. But the lack of focus on creative thought processes in almost any tool prevents the computer from being a flexible medium for personal learning experiences.
