Artefacts Supporting Distributed Design Collaboration
This study addresses the mechanisms by which collaboration environments affect design teams’ collaboration via shared artefacts. We collected data by observing design teams consisting of experts and decision makers. The teams utilized (1) a state-of-the-art web conferencing collaboration environment and (2) a three-dimensional virtual world in their collaboration. Our analysis reveals the virtu...
متن کاملFostering Team Creativity in Virtual Worlds
This article addresses the potential of virtual worlds as a platform for creative team collaboration. The proliferation of geographically distributed teams, striving towards innovative results, calls for ICT that support team creativity. Three-dimensional virtual worlds represent such an emergent and rapidly developing collaboration tool. A systematic literature review was conducted to reveal t...
متن کاملTeam Collaboration in Virtual Worlds: The Role of Task Complexity
Virtual worlds are three-dimensional, computer-generated worlds where team collaboration is facilitated through the use of shared virtual space. In this research, we are interested in studying the effect of task complexity on team collaboration. We use a puzzle as the collaboration task and manipulate task complexity using the number of puzzle pieces. We hypothesize that task complexity will in...
متن کاملReal Decisions in Virtual Worlds: Team Collaboration and Decision Making in 3D Virtual Worlds
This study investigates how 3D virtual worlds (3DVWs) support team collaboration. Based on Media Synchronicity Theory, we pose that the shared environment and avatar-based interaction allowed by 3DVWs aid convergence processes in teams working on a decision making task, leading to increased shared understanding between team members. This increases performance of decision making teams. An experi...
متن کاملConstructionism, Creativity and Virtual Worlds
Constructionism places an emphasis on the process of creating personally meaningful artefacts in order to explore, test and extend understanding. To achieve this, learners engage in a creative process in which they develop skills, generate and evaluate ideas and share their knowledge and understanding through the artefacts that they create. This paper explores this process through a distributed...
