LIFE researchers Pea and Lindgren from Stanford University have published a new paper that is now appearing as the featured article on the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (http://tinyurl.com/2wk89a). IEEE is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology (http://www.ieee.org/).
Abstract: Web-based video collaboration environments have transformative potentials for video-enhanced education and for videobased research studies. We first describe DIVER, a platform designed to solve a set of core challenges we have identified in supporting video collaboratories. We then characterize five Collaboration Design Patterns (CDPs) that emerged from numerous collaborative groups who appropriated DIVER for their video-based practices. Collaboration Design Patterns (CDPs) are ways of characterizing interaction patterns in the uses of collaboration technology. Finally, we propose a three-dimensional design matrix for incorporating these observed patterns. This representation can serve heuristically in making design suggestions for expanding video collaboratory functionalities and for supporting a broader constellation of user groups than those spanned by our observed CDPs.

Businessy but some interesting authors. There are links on the right-hand side to watching the full episodes including “The Future of Collaboration” and “Collaborating to Compete.”
On Wednesday, Oct. 15th the Brazilian artist Vik Muniz will be
speaking at Annenberg Auditorium at 5:30 pm. I’m hoping he’ll talk a
bit about his work creating art installations with trash and trash
collectors recently. Otherwise I’m not sure if he will touch on
collaboration, but his views on creativity and especially his art are
worth checking out. His TED presentation is here:
I thought it would be fun to see the Pixar team in action together and was going to bring a DVD copy of the Incredibles to show the behind the scenes extras - however, since we are distributed across three sites and connected by phone it would be hard to pull off a joint viewing. It is also 30 minutes and would take too much time.
YouTube may save the day, someone has put the footage up in three parts. Throughout there are segments of interaction, carefully edited of course. Take a look if you have time:
Part 1
Need for innovation in every film, background of John (executive producer) and Brad Bird’s (director of the Incredibles) relationship, why they brought him to Pixar
Part 2
Several segments of interaction between head team members, discussion of problems they had to solve.
Part 3
discussion of handcrafted but electronically made, how to create physical realism, believability of characters, discussion of Bob (that Roy noted was modeled after director Brad, who had not directed animated film before). Good examples off some of dynamics between producer, director - and discussion of creative process and tension with needing to control budget/schedule with vision.
