Fundamental knowledge of data modelling,
network technologies, and work analysis (e.g.

advantage. 

Læringsmål:The course gives students a conceptual
foundation for analyzing cooperative work and
for the design of IT-based systems that support
interaction, communication, coordination,
information sharing, etc. among cooperating
actors.


The course aims at developing an
understanding of the sophisticated practices by
means of which cooperating actors coordinate
and integrate their activities and of the potential
problems that the introduction of IT may cause.


In doing so, the course enables students to
analyze and deal with the complex relationship
between the characteristics of the use situation
and the limitations and possibilities of the
technology. 

Fagligt indhold:In the course participants are introduced
to and discuss
(a) theories and
conceptual frameworks of cooperative work,

(b) empirical studies of
cooperative work, and
(c) collaboration
technologies such as shared
workspaces, coordination technology (workflow
systems), document repositories, etc.


Students will be introduced to a collection of
classical and more recent papers from the
CSCW research literature.


Participants will learn a conceptual framework
that will enable them to undertake a systematic
analysis of a cooperative work setting and to
discuss relevant forms of IT support for this
setting.
