Opencrimescene review log - interaction log in a virtual crime scene investigation learning environment

In this paper we present a concept for visualising an interaction log in a virtual crime scene investigation learning environment called OPENCRIMESCENE. The interaction log shall be used for reviewing the user’s behaviour after having examined the virtual crime scene. Furthermore, it shall serve as a valuable discussion background when it comes to self or teacher’s control. As initial point the log visualisation therefore has to present an instant overview of user activity combined with significant user interactions. In order to keep track of the causal relations and the sequence of events we here focus on visualising time by combining different significant character positions in one image. This paper primarily aims at giving an overview of our system and introduces the review log as well as its first visualisation form.
