The Computer is a Medium, Not a Tool: Collaborative Media Challenging Interaction Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collaborative media entail an emerging set of digitally mediated practices, characterized by collaborative communicative action within organically developing, cross-medial infrastructures. We argue that computers are increasingly turning from tools into (collaborative) media in everyday use, and that this shift poses a significant challenge to the discipline of interaction design. Particularly prominent aspects of the challenge include the way design processes are conceptualized and structured, and the way in which communicative perspectives take precedence over instrumental ones.

متن کاملSymbik - A New Medium for Collaborative Knowledge-Intensive Work
Knowledge-intensive work in business practice is usually supported by rather static media where expressiveness and ease of content consumption are paid for by a high effort for content creation. In the area of highly interactive collaboration, however, physical media like whiteboards dominate because of the speed and ease of content creation. Regrettably, physical media come with a number of sh...
