Abstract

In this paper, we describe an analytical framework that was developed based on the distributed cognition approach to enable the evaluation of a collaborative design task around an interactive tabletop. The framework was a theoretical lens to help develop a better understanding on how people collaborate around the tabletop. This theoretical lens was necessary to prevent any preconceived ideas that the researcher may have had from affecting how the work systems would be evaluated in the research. It helped to determine what data was relevant and needed to be collected in order to develop an adequate explanation for the collaborative task observed.
