Summer Research

Faculty Mentor:

Dr. Jeffrey Campbell

Overview:

This project addresses the question of how to help people work together when creating and revising a shared document with both people working at the same time from different computers but both being able to immediately see changes made to the document.

Project Details:

Our prior studies have collected information about groups of people working together on the same document at the same time from multiple computers. The documents have included diagrams and text. The experimental data has been obtained using the same evaluation scenerio. The goal for the summer is to extend that scenerio and compare the results to the prior data.

Special Undergraduate Researcher Skills for this Project:

No special skills are required.
