In Ideation2.0 project [1] we are researching, developing and testing Web2.0 technologies to support group ideational creativity. We use wiki technologies in Wikideas tool to allow brainstorming sessions that gather large number of ideas which can be visualized later by other group members, thus enabling the generation of new ideas. Creativity Connector is a tool that is integrated with Wikideas and whose mission is to connect anonymous users into brainstorming groups to produce a greater number of innovative and original ideas. We consider that with their utilization will reduce participants apprehension to be evaluated and will bring about a significant improvement in group ideacional creativity. The assessment of these tools has been carried out in a study with a sample of 50 university students of software engineering and social worker degrees.
