Hanging on the ‘wire: a field study of an audio-only media space
Special issue on speech as data

The primary focus of this article is an analysis of an audio-only media space from a computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) perspective. To explore whether audio by itself is suitable for shared media systems, we studied a workgroup using an audio-...
Asymmetry in media spaces
CSCW '08: Proceedings of the 2008 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work

In any collaborative system, there are both symmetries and asymmetries present in the design of the technology and in the ways that technology is appropriated. Yet media space research tends to focus more on supporting and fostering the symmetries than ...
Media and Information Literacy Competences in the Workplace: Collaborative Practices and Workers' Empowerment
GROUP '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group Work

Technology-supported collaborative practices have become widespread in the workplace. Our research investigates how information and media literacy competences support teamwork dynamics, how the team's activities fosters the development of its members' ...
