Much literature on groupbrainstorming has found it tobe less effective than individ-ual brainstorming. However, acognitive perspective suggeststhat group brainstorming couldbe an effective technique for gen-erating creative ideas. Computersimulations of an associativememory model of idea genera-tion in groups suggest thatgroups have the potential to<l...

Background: Individuals with bipolar disorders (BD) are 5x more likely to be arrested, jailed, or convicted of a criminal offense than those in the general population. BD, turn, increases risk for adverse outcomes prisoners post-release, including mood instability, suicide attempts, substance use relapse, and repeat incarceration. Despite these negative sequelae, up 70% BD do not receive mental...

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is a discipline dealing with the study, planning, and design of interactions between humans and computers. The prevalent use of digital devices is increasing the need for research and education on HCI. Paying a close attention to HCI is important as poorly designed user interfaces can lead to unexpected problems. This work is focused on a new education method ge...

In a recent commentary, Dennis and Valacich (1999) raise several issues concerning the effectiveness of electronic brainstorming (EBS) and conclude that, when brainstorming groups contain more than eight individuals, EBS technology is more effective than nominal brainstorming. The present paper offers several theoretical and empirical reasons to justify our disagreement with this conclusion.

BACKGROUND The tailoring of implementation interventions includes the identification of the determinants of, or barriers to, healthcare practice. Different methods for identifying determinants have been used in implementation projects, but which methods are most appropriate to use is unknown. METHODS The study was undertaken in five European countries, recommendations for a different chronic ...

Innovation is a key instrument to start a transformational process based on collaboration. It is fundamental for organisations and institutions to have well defined strategies. In this context, brainstorming sessions — and e-brainstorming tools — are effective techniques to put together and associate draft ideas. Yet, in many cases, those ideas and associations do not leave enough digital footp...

1 This research investigates the role of brainstorming sessions in promoting effective user participation in ERP implementation. An exploratory case study was conducted, with the data analysis based on the grounded theory approach and the findings organized in a theoretical model. Results show that brainstorming sessions were instrumental for effective user participation, resulting in high leve...

Brainstorming is a valuable and widely-used group technique to enhance creativity. Interactive tabletops have the potential to support brainstorming and, by exploiting learners’ trace data, they can provide Open Learner Models (OLMs) to support reflection on a brainstorming session. We describe our design of such OLMs to enable an individual to answer core questions: C1) how much did I contribu...
