“…The first author had been responsible for developing a sales support system for the Norwegian telecom vendor during the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games: a quick requirements analysis had been essential for meeting the tight project schedule for developing a system to be used only during the Olympics. Further, collaboration tools are increasingly being used to support distributed software development projects [3].…”

Virtual teams often face tight schedules and a need to start quickly and perform instantly. The goal of our study was to enhance understanding of the challenges faced by such teams. We used time-interaction-performance theory as the framework for following the processes and functions within virtual teams working on a systems development task. Our study provided a detailed examination of the group process, applied to virtual teams working under time pressure. The challenges faced by virtual teams in such settings showed that teams must work to enhance their effectiveness in multiple dimensions. #

“…The questions to test students' mathematical problem solving skills are 5 items. Guidelines for scoring mathematical problem solving abilities using scoring guidelines are based on the problem solving process carried out by students, namely starting from understanding the problem, making problem solving plans, performing calculations, and re-examining all problem solving steps that have been done [34]. In addition, the researcher also gave a score very carefully in connection with this mathematical problem solving problem, students could answer in various ways/alternative solutions.…”

There are many studies on technology-supported learning based on cooperative learning in the literature. However, little is known about Autograph-assisted think pair share learning in supporting students’ problem-solving abilities for learning in today’s technological era. This study aims to examine and analyze the differences in the improvement of students’ problem-solving abilities who participate in think pair share learning assisted by Autograph (Auto-TPS) and conventional learning assisted by Autograph (Auto-CL). This study uses quantitative methods with the design used in this study is a nonequivalent control group design involving two groups of students. The sample of this study was 70 students of class IX SMP Al Ulum Medan, Indonesia. Questions to test students’ mathematical problem-solving skills found five items. Data analysis includes data processing of test results, namely normality test, homogeneity test, hypothesis testing, and average difference test in the two groups using t-test. The conclusion of this study is that students who study with Auto-TPS get a higher increase in problem-solving abilities compared to students who learn with Auto-CL, with the explanation that the group of students who study Auto-TPS is very good when compared to the group student learning Auto-CL. Research findings related to the application of Auto-TPS can be an alternative learning model in the current technology-era learning situation. Keywords: autograph, mathematics, problem-solving abilities, think pair share learning

“…Maznevski and Chudoba (2000) used the categories of information gathering, problem solving, idea construction, comprehensive decision making and generating major commitment to grade decision process while understanding various aspects of virtual teams. DeFranco-Tommarello and Deek (2004) analyzed sophistication in collaboration tool facilities and their impact on software development specifically in the context of collaborative problem solving. Weiseth et al (2006) proposed a 'wheel of collaboration tools' as a typology of capabilities of collaboration tools using functions for collaboration processes, content management, process integration and interfaces to collaboration functions.…”

Organizations are increasingly attempting to leverage their IT infrastructures and gain better benefits from them. Collaborative technology is one such ITbased infrastructural application which enables organizations to increase operational efficiencies and effectiveness of organizational decision making. It is important to identify potential challenges and barriers to collaborative technology adoption and use and therefore create means and mechanisms for anticipating challenges, facing them and removing barriers. Motivated by differences in extent of use of collaborative technology by groups in organizations, this paper uses exploratory cases to analyse IT-supported collaborative decision task situations to understand the factors influencing sophistication of use of collaborative technology. Preliminary qualitative analysis suggests that level of sophistication is fit between three constructs including users' drive to use technology, the need for technology support and the group's cultural orientation towards collaboration. Potential group contexts are discussed using the cases as samples. Further development of an integrative framework to understand use of collaborative technology is essential for suggesting more precise and fundamental prescriptive mechanisms.
