Abstract

This workshop will explore interactions among culture, features of collaborative technologies, and group processes and outcomes. The workshop will address several key challenges to this area of research, including identifying important dimensions of cultural variability, specifying how these dimensions interact with features of technology to impact group processes and outcomes, developing design specifications for multi-cultural and cross cultural collaborative tools, and addressing methodological issues that arise in cross cultural research. Workshop goals include identifying key areas for future research, specifying initial design recommendations, fostering new collaborations among researchers interested in culture and computer mediated collaboration, and, if there is sufficient interest among participants, creating an edited volume on this topic.
