Albert M. Selvin (Al) is Director, User Experience, in the Information Technology organization at Verizon. His research interests lie in understanding how people engage in creating representations of complex problems. He was the original developer of the Compendium approach and software toolset at NYNEX Science & Technology in the early 1990s, and a member of its core design team at the Open University since 2000. As a practitioner, he has facilitated over 500 sessions for industry, academic, and community groups using the Compendium approach. Previously, he worked as a consultant, user interface designer, technical writer, researcher, and musician. He has traveled widely by bicycle and foot in Asia, Europe, and North America.

He resides in Dutchess County, New York with his family.Simon J. Buckingham Shum is Professor of Learning Informatics at the University of Technology Sydney, where he is Director of the Connected Intelligence Centre. His research is at the intersection of sensemaking and computation: the invention of new digital tools and ways of thinking and working, that build the qualities needed for 21st-century learning. Specifically, he is interested in how computation can make the quality of thinking visible, to enable more reflective deliberation at a range of different scales from individuals, to small teams, to large networks. From 1995-2014 he was at The Open University's Knowledge Media Institute, which provided the academic environment for the projects underpinning this book. In his spare time he is a runner, and a kit and cajon drummer. He holds a B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of York (1987), an M.Sc. in Ergonomics from the University of London (1988) and a Ph.D. in Design Rationale from the University of York (1992).He lives with his family in Sydney.
