“…Stahl, 2006). Groupware provide shared spaces (Bannon & Bødker, 1997) on the WWW for storing and sharing information (messages, documents, pictures, videos) and engaging the learners in social interaction (Girgensohn & Lee, 2002). When adopted in schools they allow teachers and learners to interact online using a variety of communication and collaboration tools.…”

Abstract:Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is the field concerned with how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) might support learning in groups (co-located and distributed). The chapter surveys key studies, common technologies, and significant events in the field. It presents basic concepts, multiple perspectives, and emerging trends in CSCL. A main distinction is drawn between the systemic and the dialogical approach to research. The former is rooted in the cognitive perspective on learning and the latter the sociocultural perspective on learning and development. Design-based research is prominent in the field and we differentiate pedagogical and technology design as two means to scaffold research, collaboration and learning.

“…Interestingly, the oil and gas associations promote a shift towards collaboration arenas to integrate personnel, a notion which was compared to that of CIS (Hepsø, 2009). The notion of CIS was originally proposed by Bannon and Bødker (1997) to describe a space actively constructed by the users who cooperate to shape and resolve meanings, at least temporarily. However, as pointed out by Rolland et al (2006) by grounding on Mol (2002), the essential characteristic of CIS is the fact that they allow for a temporary resolution of meanings through representations by being malleable and mutable.…”

“…Bringing to the fore this type of work is indeed core to analyze the political and social background an information infrastructure rests upon (Bowker et al, 2010). Common Information Spaces (CIS) have also been proposed as tools shared by cooperating actors to interpret and align their mutual work by building awareness of activities that are spatially and temporally asynchronous (Bannon and Bødker, 1997). However, the concept of CIS has been criticized in literature, especially to understand what "information" really is and what should really be "common" (Hepsø, 2009;Rolland et al, 2006).…”

Abstract. Integrated Operations in the oil and gas industry depend on highly cooperative yet computer-mediated and distributed workflows across complex information infrastructures. In particular, offshore operations rely heavily on digital technologies to gain remote access to subsea oil or natural gas fields, and are at the same time subject to strict requirements by authorities to prevent pollution in the marine environment. Operators are consequently dependent on models and representations to assess and predict environmental risk. However, the heterogeneous disciplines operating a field cannot count on a shared perspective on environmental risk as their activities span across organizational and political boundaries. We present a case study from a Norwegian oil and gas company that is developing a set of tools and methodologies for providing heterogeneous users with awareness of the risk for the cold-water coral reefs off the coasts of Norway. In particular, we focus on the articulation work carried on to let representations and models compensate for the inevitable lack of shared awareness of environmental risk while at the same time fit the existing sociotechnical infrastructure. We discuss actors' strategies to foreground the infrastructure by: (1) bootstrapping the environmental data; (2) mediating with the existing corporate infrastructure; and (3) enacting the subsea context for operators.

“…The terminology, however, is not uniform across the disciplines following this tradition; each discipline adopts its own concept and fills it with its own meaning. With slightly different connotations, the concepts are many; common understanding, team shared awareness, shared understanding, group situational awareness, shared cognition, team awareness, coherent tactical picture, common ground, shared work space awareness, team cognition, shared mental models and common information spaces (see e.g., Bannon and Bødker 1997;Nofi 2000;Roth et al 2006).…”

Chasing shared understanding in drilling operations

Lack of shared understanding is frequently found to be the main cause when accidents are investigated. Still, few studies explicitly explore and document the causal effects of shared understanding in successful work. Thus, the attribution of insufficient shared understanding as an accident cause lacks the substantiation of shared understanding as a contributor to successful work. In this article a case of measurement discrepancies in an offshore drilling operation is studied, and in the elaboration of the case shared understanding is found not to qualify as a condition with significant impact on the collaborative work. One important reason for this is the epistemological inadequacy of the different concepts of shared understanding. Although more critical research on shared understanding is needed before one can conclude more generic on this topic, the findings are important to the current development of Integrated Operations where shared understanding is pointed out as an important target area. Keywords Shared understanding Á Coordination Á Cooperative work Á Distributed cognition Á Integrated operationsA scene from an offshore drilling operation: at two different stages of the operation, the measurements of the same depth show different results. Due to different types of risks and success criteria, the significance of the depth measurement reliability is different in the short and the long time perspective. The relevant time perspective also differs for the actors involved; while the drilling engineers have a short time perspective and are willing to accept an accuracy in the range of decimetres, the reservoir engineers have a longer time perspective and require less uncertainty of measurements. What role does shared understanding between the actors play in such a situation?
