This paper examines variability in teachers’ usage patterns as they interacted with an online teacher support tool, the Curriculum Customization Service (CCS), as part of their professional work. The CCS is a web application that supports teachers in planning, adapting, sequencing, and enacting differentiated instruction in Earth science education. By mining the usage log files of over 40 teachers who used the CCS over a yearlong period, we analyzed for variability using a framework developed in marketing research to characterize appropriation of technology.

Computer-supported coordinated care uses technology to aid the network of people who support an elder living at home.

The authors used these results to identify challenges faced by people caring for elders and offer guidelines for designers of coordinated care technologies.
