Patrick From: The President To: Pierre Dillenbourg Subject: RE:[New Learning Center at EPFL] Good idea; go ahead! Patrick The value of to be free from geographical constraints; why would you re-spatialize communication ? To grasp contextual cues.

Pierre Dillenbourg, On-Line Educa, Berlin 2005  contextual cues help interpreting messages  spatial coordination facilitates a shared strategy The role of spatial information on group cognition

Pierre Dillenbourg, On-Line Educa, Berlin 2005 In virtual space (MOO), the “position” of teammates influences collaboration: 1.20 pairs on 20 distributed their work on a spatial basis 2.Acknowledgment delay was shorter in same room (59 s. / 39 s.) 3.Acknowledgment rate was higher in same room (34 % / 50%) 4.Users monitored the position of their team mate
