Week 5 Questions: Collaboration and Cooperation
1. Question: Is collaboration a totally different concept than cooperation (as in Curtis), or is cooperation an embedded social component of collaboration (as proposed by Soller et al.)? Also, how does Johnson & Johnson’s definition of cooperation “fit” with the other two articles?
2. In the research cited in Curtis (2001) email was used more extensively than discussion boards. Since 2001, text-messaging has become more widely used.
Question: can text messging be considered a hybrid between e-mail and discussion board activity, because of the ability to give near-synchronous response times, or is it a completely new medium of communication? If it is a hybrid, will it create a “quick response” discussion board type of communication, and therefore change the results of the tests from those researched in Curtis (2001)?
