IdeaGens: A Social Ideation System for Guided Crowd Brainstorming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many crowd ideation systems seek to gather scores of ideas from people online. However, this often leads to many bad ideas and duplication. A dedicated facilitator who guides exploration of the solution space is a common and effective strategy for optimizing ideation in face-to-face brainstorming, but has not yet been explored in computer-supported crowd ideation. We introduce IdeaGens, a social ideation system for guided crowd brainstorming. IdeaGens divides the crowd into ideation and synthesis tasks, and enables efficient data-driven facilitation of the crowd’s ideation. This work can inform general strategies for shepherding the crowd to produce better results for complex collaborative tasks.

متن کاملBrainstorming in Solitude and Teams: The Role of Group Influence
Early studies of creative ideation showed that individuals brainstorming in isolation tend to generate more and better ideas than groups. But recent studies depict a more complex picture, reinforcing the need to better understand individual and group ideation. Studying group influence is one way to address the complex interplay between ideas in different brainstorming scenarios. We define group...
