Project Description
Working effectively in groups is hard, particularly for projects that span some months. Groups can be derailed by a range of problems including poor leadership, poor communication, failure to monitor progress, and social loafing. Learning to work effectively in a group is a difficult but necessary measure to ensure group success.
Groups using electronic support tools provide huge amounts of trace data, which has the potential to provide the group with insights into the effectiveness of their own operation. The Narcissus project exploits this data to support the groups. The approach is to use an interactive visualisation to mirror the activities of the group members, which gives them the opportunity to see the dynamics and progress of their group.
A demo site is currently being anonymised.
