“…Notably, Dufner et al [20] found that groups using a simple feature for visualizing group convergence perceived the medium as richer and less ambiguous than did control groups. Without this lightweight HCI enhancement, these groups had to "comb through many comments without seeing at a glance the extent to which consensus had been reached" [20, p. 240].…”

Although group support systems (GSS) can potentially have tremendous impacts in helping to solve the challenges faced by organizations and societies today, research to date has primarily focused on direct outcomes, with less research focusing on factors contributing to use and continuing use of GSS. Integrating hedonic elements into the human computer interface of GSS is one way to potentially enhance users' satisfaction with the meeting process, which in turn can influence usage intentions. Hence, this study explores the effects of perceived visual aesthetics on satisfaction with the meeting process using a free simulation study with twenty ad-hoc teams performing an idea generation and evaluation task. The results show a significant role of perceived visual aesthetics in predicting satisfaction with the meeting process.

“…Students can collaborate using e-mail or computer mediated conferencing (CMC) systems to support their group work and to communicate with one another. However, groups distributed in space and time have serious coordination problems [Dufner et al, 1994;Dufner et al, 1995]. CMC systems and e-mail provide limited structures for coordinating asynchronous collaboration.…”

This paper describes the underlying concepts, architecture, and design of a Web-enabled CyberCollaboratory (Web-CCAT) for geographically distributed information systems students and working professionals. The primary objectives for Web-CCAT are (1) to provide the opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of cooperative learning without having to coordinate meeting times or come to campus; and (2) to provide a more technologically enriched collaborative environment than is possible in a traditional face-to-face classroom. To meet these objectives, multiuser , collaborative software tools and procedures were designed for use in the asynchronous mode of communication. Web-CCAT is implemented as a tool kit of commercially available applications coupled with software developed at the University of Illinois at Springfield. The system became operational in January 1999.

“…We feel there is scope for further exploration of this issue. There is existing experimental research which suggests that even very simple structuring tools, such as listing and voting tools ameliorate the perception of the distributed mode of communication as an inexpressive and restrictive medium (Dufner et al, 1995) and some Delphi researchers report positive experiences with graphical visualisation techniques (Scheele, 1975).…”

Problem structuring without workshops? Experiences with distributed interaction within a PSM process

PSMs have been widely and successfully used in many organisations, but the reliance on face-to-face meetings and workshops makes a typical PSM project difficult and time-consuming to organise, and means that the process may only involve a narrow cross-section of the organisation. Yet much interaction in organisations is neither face-to-face nor even synchronous. This research seeks to 1) explore how the issues which arise in moderating such distributed interaction differ from the issues involved in facilitating a workshop; and 2) identify the circumstances under which it makes sense to consider using the distributed mode of interaction within a PSM process. Three pairs of action research case studies using a distributed variant on the SODA process are described, together with our answers to the above questions.
