The
aim is to study human communication processes within distributed formal meetings
supported by synchronous computer systems and to increase users possibility
to influence the design or re-design of IT.
The goal is :
-to
develop a model for the analysis of variables playing a fundamental role in
electronic communication,
-to
affect from user studies the design of user-oriented interfaces for electronic
meetings.
To
work co-operatively include participative observations and
making developers of technology and their users to meet. At some phases of
the project there will be usability studies and more focused studies performed.
This is all taking part in the context of distributed meetings where we think the co-operative approach will demand a re-design or new development of IT and also increase the use of the technology and support the activity i.e. distributed meetings.
