Random Display of Hints and Its Effect on Generating Ideas in Brain-Writing Groupware

摘要

Reflecting on the results of previous experiments, we proposed methodology for effective visualization in Brain-writing groupware. This present research mainly explains the approaches that highlight the effects of visualization in Brain-writing, and the results of combining and associating idea-labels. We have proposed methodology to combat the problem of overload viewing by analyzing the individual's ability to combine, and associate idea-labels. We conduct a test with five different modes, which are all simple in structure and are very similar in theory. Test results shows that gradual display of hints, rather than package display generates better quality ideas by maintaining the cognitive stimulation of participants, as well as keep alive the demands of individuals to view and share all ideas within groups.
