Research, Writing, And Computer Technology: A Reconsideration Of Invention And Process, Donna Price Seckrater

Further argument is for a more vigorous student engagement in knowledge-making activities by encouraging active research further along the writing process.

Information relevant to business environment is usually written and posted in many languages and can be accessed from many sources. The collection of this information is time consuming and labor intensive and techniques such as environmental scanning that are proposed in previous research can facilitate this information search.

Antecedents And Outcomes Of The Flow Experience: An Empirical Study In The Context Of Online Gaming, Clyde W. Holsapple, Jiming Wu Jan 2008

Antecedents And Outcomes Of The Flow Experience: An Empirical Study In The Context Of Online Gaming, Clyde W. Holsapple, Jiming Wu

Journal of International Technology and Information Management

This study uses flow theory and the technology acceptance model (TAM) to provide new insight into the impact of enjoyment, one important dimension of flow, on user satisfaction, user beliefs, and behavioral intention to use. In addition, based on the propositions that knowledge results in an increased ability for activity and that flow is an emotional state of activity, this paper adopts a process view of knowledge to examine the role of knowledge in predicting enjoyment. The foregoing concepts are represented in a nomological network of enjoyment. Associated hypotheses are tested by using questionnaire responses of 253 online game players.
