The early stages of Mobile Serious Game (MSG) design are very complex. That is why many MSG research projects start with a brainstorming session, involving pedagogical and game experts. However, brainstorming with large groups of participants, who come from very different backgrounds, can prove to be long and inefficient. In addition, classic brainstorming techniques are not well adapted to the...

Enhancing the Academic Self-efficacy and Social Competency in Elementary School Students: The Use of Brainstorming Instuction Studies

This paper examines how to increase the productivity of the software usability evaluation technique called heuristic evaluation (HE) through the use of collaborative software. Building off of a brainstorming research, it is theorized that part of HE resembles brainstorming, in that it is a creative process that can benefit from anonymous, parallel production afforded by collaborative software. ...

Video prototypes (Mackay, 1988) use video to illustrate how users will interact with a new system. The goal is to refine a single system concept, making design choices that highlight and explore a particular design path. The technique appears similar to video brainstorming: Both involve small design groups who work together to create and interact with rapid prototypes in front of a video camera...

Creativity is a much needed quality in today’s business and therefore an important research area. Whilst implementing and evaluating computer support for electronic brainstorming, it was noticed that the sheer presence of technology does neither guarantee usage nor success. Factors such as organisational culture and attitudes seem to have an equally important role, and this observation called f...

This meta-analysis examines the influence of electronic communication media on group idea generation tasks. Data from the following three areas of the brainstorming literature are synthesized to assess differences across performance variables and groupmember satisfaction: (1) electronic brainstorming (EBS) groups versus traditional face-to-face (FTF) interacting groups, (2) EBS groups versus no...

In the CAD/CAS field, the increasing domination of splinebased graphic objects has driven a great attention to methods focusing on the management of free-form curves. These methods range from basic manipulation of control points to more sophisticated direct manipulation techniques by using tangency or curvature constraints. However they are not suitable for the earlier conceptual stage where qu...
