Designing Technologies that Mediate Human Social Interaction: Strategies for Effective Cooperation and Collaboration

mediaXadmin — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 20:48:28 +0000

From The Theme  KNOWLEDGE WORKER PRODUCTIVITY WHAT IF What if we could develop a theory of “social affordances” (properties of technologies that shape online social interaction, personal judgment, and social decision-making) to better understand and even predict the effects of media design choices on behavior? WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO We set out to […]
