My PhD Research
This is not a conventional case study research. It purposefully concentrates on the self-learning process that constitutes the research, captured in the form of narratives, rather than day-to-day content from the fieldwork, as such it differs from mainstream qualitative research.
The reflections from practice, can be relevant to those who are concerned in bridging the gap between groupware-design and groupware-in-use and point the need to rethink the meaning of ‘technology’.
WHO SHOULD READ ME?
Anyone interested to learn how to work with groups for solving problems and decision-making, or to make events, training sessions and teaching more participative and fun.
