Complex design problems require more knowledge than any single person possesses because the knowledge relevant to a problem is usually distributed among stakeholders. Bringing different and often controversial points of view together to create a shared understanding among these stakeholders can lead to new insights, new ideas, and new artifacts. New media that allow owners of problems to contribute to framing and resolving complex design problems can extend the power of the individual human mind.
Our research is grounded in the basic belief that one of the major roles
of new media is not to deliver predigested information to individuals,
but to provide the opportunity and resources for social debate and discussion.
Based on our past work, I will identify objectives for the next generation
of collaborative systems. I will illustrate them with examples of systems
that shift development away from the computer as the focal point, towards
improving our understanding of the human, social, and cultural system that
creates the context for use.
Gerhard Fischer is professor
of Computer Science, a member of the Institute of Cognitive Science, and
the director of the Center for LifeLong Learning & Design (L3D) at
the University of Colorado at Boulder. Current research interests include
education and computers (including learning on demand and organizational
learning), human-human and human-computer collaboration, (software) design,
and domain-oriented design environments.
