Providing support for creative group brainstorming: taxonomy and technologies

Abstract

This paper describes our plans and current work towards developing a user modelingbased learning environment for creative group brainstorming in qualitative domains. This research framework aims to guide the investigation and integration of different brainstorming activities, theoretical foundations and supportive technologies in order to benefit learning most. Intervention studies and system development are proposed to take place in parallel to ensure that the design of system behavior is informed by research results.
