Cinematic Hypertext
Research led by Clara Mancini has laid theoretical and empirical foundations for a paradigm that considers hypertext as a cinematic medium, media fragments connected by discourse relations derived from Cognitive Coherence Relations theory. This work now continues with Donia Scott.

Design Rationale & Meeting Capture:
We are leaders in Argumentation-Based Design Rationale, an approach to collaborative modelling of design deliberations as networks of design issues, options and arguments. This has expanded to the capture and conceptual indexing of audio-visual meeting records.

e-Learning & Open Educational Resources
Central to the mission of the Open University is the challenge of engaging students with material, and with each other, over time and space. Our work on hypermedia representations of discourse can scaffold the building of different sorts of knowledge map for personal and collaborative reflection. A major focus at present is on sensemaking and collaboration tools for self-organising communities of students and educators accessing Open Educational Resources.

Pragmatic Web & Hypermedia Discourse
A conception of new tools, literacies and conceptual foundations, emerging from the research programme on this site. Has synergies with new conceptions of the "Pragmatic Web", which foregrounds the centrality of context in web-mediated meaning negotiation between diverse stakeholders and perspectives.

Public Discourse
We, and others, are applying our work to improve the quality of public discourse on topical matters.
Compendium is finding application in the arenas of e-Democracy (Napier Univ. UK), and e-Participation in policy formulation (Griffith Univ., AU). We also coordinate the GlobalArgument.net experiments mapping contemporary policy debates, such as the Iraq invasion.
We have begun theoretical work based on the work of René Girard, whose theory of mimetic rivalry describes a pervasive societal dynamic that can escalate into hatred and violence. We hypothesise that dialogue and argumentation support tools could disrupt this process, particularly when mediated via the Net.

Web Usability
With the emergence of the Web as a mainstream infrastructure around 1995, there was a lot of reinventing the usability wheel, as website enthusiasts made all the same mistakes that hypertext researchers had been reporting in the preceding decade. KMi hosted a workshop in 1996 on "The Missing Link" between hypermedia usability research and the Web, which became a special journal issue, fully online.
