Electronic brainstorming with graphical structures of ideas

چکیده
Group brainstorming is a very popular technique for the creation of ideas, although the state of the art in psychological research backs from this kind of brainstorming. Electronic brainstorming overcomes some of the drawbacks and regains some value. Unfortunately, the electronic brainstorming still is in infantile state and lacks some modern techniques which may make the whole approach more effective. On a wellfounded psychological background, we present a new tool for effective electronic group brainstorming which is designed according to modern information technology.

متن کاملTackling Information Overload in Electronic Brainstorming
Electronic brainstorming allows users to generate ideas in parallel to mitigate production blocking, but, on the other hand, this increases the cognitive load on the users and may cause information overload. We address this trade-off by leveraging the users’ natural alternation between generating ideas and attending to new ideas by others to manipulate the delivery timing and quantity of ideas ...
