Proactive Information Delivery

	Proactive Information Delivery In information systems, proactive information delivery (PID) is a paradigm of supporting users in doing their work by delivering them information related to the current working situation. Unlike information search process where the user has to initiate the search, PID tries to identify the user's current information need. Applications of PID PID can be used for Just-In-Time learning embedded in working processes. Examples of systems providing PID features Intellext Watson Watson is a software program for Microsoft Windows released by Intellext in 2005, which reads what the user is working on and uses pattern recognition Pattern recognition is the automated recognition of patterns and regularities in data. It has ... was a prominent tool illustrating the concept of lightweight PID.

	Information Search Process In library and information science, the information search process (ISP) is a six-stage process of information seeking behavior. The ISP was first suggested by Carol Kuhlthau in 1991. It describes the thoughts, feelings and actions of the searcher, and is often used to describe students. Stages Stage 1: Initiation During the first stage, ''initiation'', the information seeker recognizes the need for new information to complete an assignment. As they think more about the topic, they may discuss the topic with others and brainstorm the topic further.Shannon, Donna. "Kuhlthau's Information Search Process." School Library Media Activities Monthly, Vol. 19, no. 2, October 2002: p. 19-23. This stage of the information seeking process is filled with feelings of apprehension and uncertainty. Stage 2: Selection In the second stage, ''selection'', the individual begins to decide what topic will be investigated and how to proceed. Some information retrieval may occur at this point, resulti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Augmented Learning Augmented learning is an on-demand learning technique where the environment adapts to the learner. By providing remediation on-demand, learners can gain greater understanding of a topic while stimulating discovery and learning. Technologies incorporating rich media and interaction have demonstrated the educational potential that scholars, teachers and students are embracing. Instead of focusing on memorization, the learner experiences an adaptive learning experience based upon the current context. The augmented content can be dynamically tailored to the learner's natural environment by displaying text, images, video or even playing audio (music or speech). This additional information is commonly shown in a pop-up window for computer-based environments. Most implementations of augmented learning are forms of e-learning. In desktop computing environments, the learner receives supplemental, contextual information through an on-screen, pop-up window, toolbar or sidebar. As the user n ...

	Intellext Watson Watson is a software program for Microsoft Windows released by Intellext in 2005, which reads what the user is working on and uses pattern recognition Pattern recognition is the automated recognition of patterns and regularities in data. It has applications in statistical data analysis, signal processing, image analysis, information retrieval, bioinformatics, data compression, computer graphic ... to proactively find relevant documents for the user. It demonstrates a lightweight approach to context-specific proactive information delivery. In 2006, the company announced that MIVA, a performance marketing network, is to "display targeted Pay-Per-Click and Pay-Per-Call Ads offered by MIVA to Watson users." Some years later the company Intelltext was bought by MediaRiver that used the Watson engine in their product ClickSurge. Watson is no longer supported.
