iSpace Project Module 3: Design Project Support

This is module 3 of the iSpace project, funded by the Wallenberg Global Learning Network and executed in collaboration with the Center for Design Research. This module aims to imlement and evaluate hardware and software solutions designed to help students working on design tasks in collaborative teams. Researchers working in module 3 will study the performance effects of iSpace facilities on student teams working in collocated and distributed settings.

Researchers in this module will conduct studies of both co-located and distributed team situations in a small number of different design courses. Fundamental research themes will include:

What connection technologies are most successful in supporting distributed collaborative student teams working together on design projects?
What kind of information and other artifacts do design students need to persist for later recall during subsequent design sessions? How should these artifacts be organized and made available?
How does the interface to digital information need to change when students are engaged in collaborative group work that involves multiple simultaneously acting participants?
How does the physical implementation of technology in an iSpace affect its utility to the learning communities who use it?
What subsets of iSpace functionality can be appropriately transferred to other "traditional" learning spaces distributed around the KTH and Stanford campuses?
