Abstract
Based on the Social Construction of Technology model, this work examines the collaborative design in Information Society. It comprehends some cognitive aspects of interface and discusses social and technical issues of collaborative work in different community types. Sustained by an empirical study of web interfaces, it establishes some recommendations for the construction of collaborative design interspaces and identifies some possibilities provided by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It concludes that if we avoid technologically deterministic approaches, there are strong evidences that ICTs provide special support for collaborative design practices and socially relevant technology oriented to creation and transfer.
Highlights
The technological convergence supports a process that puts communication and information technologies together and weakens hindrances imposed by time and space
We concluded that the theoretical studies with significant indications of a deeper understanding of design collaborative practices requires investigation of social, technical, cognitive and communicative aspects of technique usage
Elements found in the empirical research answered a set of guide questions and revealed a scenario characterized by the following aspects:
Summary
The technological convergence supports a process that puts communication and information technologies together and weakens hindrances imposed by time and space. It presents some results of a research that studies the socially relevant technology design in the Information Society.
