The collaborator has been instructed to behave using a standard protocol in order to have a constant environment for every subject. A working environment. Each member of the Center for People and Systems Interaction has been provided with a DVCS and its use is being monitored. A distance M.Sc. course for students in a different European country, where e-mail and a DVCS will be used as the main communication channels. This study has just started and the convenience of using a DVCS is being investigated.
Source code is available.
Multipoint connections are supported. Available free of charge. The outcome of this research will be an increased understanding of what features of DVCSs are most appropriate to different communicative acts. This will enhance the usability of DVCSs by determining which additional communication channels are required, and how they should be presented to the user. I would like to thank all the members of the Centre for People and Systems Interaction for their help and support.
