Abstract
Awareness and common ground have been accepted as core concepts in
solutions for team and community support (including knowledge
management and e-learning support). Therefore, most collaboration
support tools are seeking to improve awareness among the users. When
supporting lousley coupled groups like communities the issue of
providing awareness is made more complex by the requirement of
providing it in a way to make it easy to consume the information -
make the information accessible.
This talk will discuss the importance of awareness and accessability
in community support systems, and present results from the project
Cobricks/Community Mirrors where we are exploring how semi-public
large screen displays can be used for providing community awareness to
the users of community platforms.
