DESIGNING FOR SOCIAL AWARENESS OF COOPERATIVE ACTIVITIES

Monique Janneck

2009

Abstract

Mechanisms supporting a shared representation of activities—or awareness—within a group of people are an important prerequisite for successful computer supported cooperative activities. This article highlights the design of awareness mechanisms from a social psychological viewpoint of human behaviour in and within groups. Based on this, design guidelines for awareness functions supporting cooperative activities—with an emphasis on promoting social awareness—are proposed and evaluated empirically. Results show that users’ awareness was influenced positively as predicted by the design guidelines.
