The Process of Achieving Collaborative Knowledge in Asynchronous Collaboration (CASC)

Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY OVERVIEW * Overall Goal: understand the unique cognitive mechanisms that should be employed to optimize collaborative decision-making activity in a geographically distributed and time-delayed situation * Objectives: (1) To understand the cognitive processes of building knowledge in an asynchronous, distributed collaboration environment (2) To develop an empirically-based theory of collaboration, including knowledge building components, during asynchronous,distributed collaboration (3) To understand how agents can support humans in achieving collaborative knowledge during asynchronous, distributed collaborative problem solving * FY03 / 04 Objectives: (1) Conduct experiments in collaborative problem solving in both face-to-face and asynchronous, distributed environments to understand the unique cognitive processes within asynchronous, distributed collaboration (2) Update model of collaboration based on experimental results.
