Collaboration Team #2 Jessica Speir Joe Zeles Dave Musson Tyler Brown Motivation of remote participants Team Members:

Our project The Question: Why do some remote users not participate as much as those that are physically present? Our Plan: Use information from independent research Gather information from existing systems Create guidelines for future remote systems

What don’t we know? Why do people use remote systems like Clickers, CAETE, forums, etc…? Why don’t people use these systems? Can we successfully take the pros from different systems and combine them?

What do we know? From independent research: Non-real time (NRT) software allows for flexibility in response time and ultimately more responses Real time software however, can force people to participate and encourages brain storming type interaction How can we integrate these advantages into one model?

What do we know? (Cont.) Why do applications want to include remote participation? Collaboration is possible 24/7 More people = more contributions Why don’t applications include remote participation? Security Need physical interaction Doesn’t work well enough

Clickers Pros  Increases participation  Provides immediate information to professor Cons  Cost to students  Make you go to class
