Abstract

This paper presents a novel concept to provide awareness of a virtual team's social activities and its self representation, based on a collaborative storytelling approach. Utilizing shared workspaces, team members can create, annotate, share, and discuss stories. A story consists of a sorted collection of annotated photos similar to comics. Users can rearrange stories manually or with the help of a storytelling algorithm that is based on drama arcs. We believe that this approach offers a compelling and entertaining way to provide team awareness and to support team coherence in virtual teams.
