The most obvious place for this type of collaboration is in research projects. The Artificial Intelligence community draws a fine line between computer as tool and computer as collaborator. While this relationship not should be the focus of this working group, it should be considered. For example, students can use the Web to do research, a word processor to write a document, a presentation tool to develop a final project. Specialized software such as CAD tools or mathematical modeling tools are also examples.
Student develop large software systems by distributing the work among team members.
For example, students might participate in an on-line tutorial in order to master low level technical skills required for a project. How do you create an environment where the load is distributed fairly, balancing individual strengths and weaknesses. Extensive research has been done in business, research and educational settings outside our field. Relevant perspectives should be considered by the working group. B. A bibliography of resources that provide insight and examples of collaboration.
