Mechanisms for collaboration

Abstract: Multi-user interfaces are said to provide 'natural' interaction in supporting collaboration, compared to individual and non-co-located technologies. We identify 3 mechanisms accounting for the success of such interfaces: high awareness of others' actions and intentions, high control over the interface and high availability of background information. We challenge the idea that interaction over such interfaces is necessarily 'natural' and argue that everyday interaction involves constraints on awareness, control… Show more

“…On the other hand, for groups who have attentional difficulties and in particular atypical patterns of attention to other people, as in autism (Mundy et al, 1990), an analysis of environmental support for shared attention and hence cooperation might require less novelty and more time for habituation to an environment. Understanding more about such mechanisms of interaction has clear practical implications for designing environments to support interaction (Yuill and Rogers, 2012). …”

“…Furthermore, students from the first study who worked in turns obtained better results in their learning process than other group dynamics. In this sense, it seems that the results obtained in previous studies where users were interacting with multitouch tabletops are more aware of partners' actions if they are interacting by turns [21].…”

“…Educational activities were performed on multitouch tabletops and students were divided into workgroups. When users without disabilities are interacting in this type of device, they are aware of their peers' actions and they tend to collaborate [21]. However, we could not find studies related to people with disabilities using multitouch tabletops.…”

“…This tension between group cohesion and external content lies at the heart of Tolmie"s previous observations of museum studies, leading him to discuss the notion of group coherence that involves maintaining a level of togetherness through staying within line of sight [28]. This, and other forms of awareness of group members" activities, has been shown to be important in collocated collaboration [32].…”
