“…However, this difference does not seem to have any direct influence on creativity, nor on productivity in particular. This corresponds with the work of Tang et al (2011) andChulvi et al (2017), who found that digital setups did not significantly influence measurable creativity in sketching.…”

“…In relation to turn-taking, we further look at how the digital versus physical material affects alternation between individual and group idea generation, as mentioned by Korde and Paulus (2017). Our work is also influenced by Tang et al (2011) and Chulvi et al (2017), who investigate how moving from a physical to a digital setup influences creativity in different sketching environments, and by work on artefact mediation, and affordances for interaction at large (Baerentsen and Trettvik 2002, Gaver 1992, Badram and Houben 2018.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we compare the use of physical and digital sticky notes in collaborative ideation. Inspired by a case study in a design company, we focus on a collaborative ideation task, which is often part of pair-wise brainstorming in design. For comparison and to focus on the different materiality, we developed a digital sticky notes setup designed to be as close to the physical setup as possible, not adding any advanced digital features, even though technology has reached a stage where more sophisticated use of digital sticky notes on digital boards is possible. In this paper, we present a study of ideation among pairs of experienced sticky note users. The ideation sessions were video recorded and analyzed to focus on how collaboration is supported across the two setups. Based on quantitative analyses of the participants' interactions with the artefacts, talking patterns, position and attention during the sessions, we qualify how the differences and similarities between the 2 setups have an impact on note handling, ideation techniques, group dynamics and socio-spatial configuration, e.g. the use of the room, the boards and tables. We conclude that, while the physical setup seems more appropriate for creating notes and posting notes, the digital setup invites more note interaction. Nevertheless, we did not find significant differences in the ideation outcome (e.g., number of notes created) or how participants collaborated between the 2 setups. Hence, we argue that collaborative ideation can successfully be supported in a digital setup as well. Consequently, we believe that the next step in a technological setup is not an either or, but should bring the best of the two worlds together.

“…So, together with the defended hypothesis that knowledge co-generation can enhance design creativity, this fact can also reinforce previous studies that point that teamwork increase novelty and creativity (Alves et al, 2007;González-Cruz et al, 2008). Also, previous studies demonstrated that the use or not of ICTs doesn't affect the level of creativity of the results (Chulvi et al, 2016), so this is a factor that we can discard on our research.…”

With the current technological explosion, the arrival of Web 2.0 and the growth of ICTs, designers' tools can be understood and used by novice users. With this statement in mind, and considering previous works that claim that team-working enhances creativity, the present paper reports on an experiment conducted to test whether a large group of creative people organised in a Virtual Learning Community are able to produce a Graphic Design with a satisfactory level of creativity starting from an almost complete lack of knowledge on the discipline, where a "satisfactory level of creativity" is understood as being that level which can be achieved by an individual with specific knowledge in the subject working in isolation. The results were assessed by means of an adapted questionnaire based on the CPSS taxonomy, and statistically analysed using ANOVA. The conclusions appear to reinforce the idea that virtual team-working enhances creativity, but the lack of specific competence training can be discerned by an expert eye.

“…Fully-synchronous CAD software provides an appealing instrument with which to explore these factors. An example future study of interest would investigate the creativity of the product enabled by fully-synchronous collaborative design teams when compared to results already discovered for creativity with traditional CAD use and other virtual tools (Chulvi et al, 2017;Häggman et al, 2015;Robertson and Radcliffe, 2009). Another might be a study of team composition, specific to the CAD context and compared to previous findings on collaborative design (McComb et al, 2016).…”

This paper presents the findings of a preliminary study comparing implementation of design changes using various computer-aided design (CAD) working styles. Our study compares individuals’ and pairs’ completion of a series of changes to a toy car CAD model. We discuss the results in terms of productivity and value added ratio, derived from time-based quantitative data. We also discuss qualitative findings acquired through post-study surveys. Overall, our findings suggest that pairs were less efficient than individual designers due to overheads like communication, history dependency and complex couplings within the CAD model tree. However, it is also noteworthy that within each pair the lead participant's performance was at par with individual participants. Lastly, we also discuss behaviors and patterns that emerge as unique to the synchronous collaborative environment, motivating future work.
