In the study, a high-fidelity prototype of an online virtual ideas room was built and used by a Community of Interest consisting of representatives from 10 different voluntary organisations spread across Denmark. The study revealed five user roles, which the authors propose that future asynchronous distributed collaborative idea generation platforms should consider.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

This phenomenon holds true in both physical and digital spaces. People feel free to post their most intimate secrets on the Internet with the belief that their confessions are ephemeral and intangible. In reality, this data is perpetually archived and cached on distant servers. A disconnect exists between the perception of the transitory quality of digital data and the truth of its enduring existence. Through the weaving of the stories and secrets of strangers from the Internet into a material artifact, Embroidered Confessions represents the physical manifestation of the duality of digital information.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

Often large amounts of foundational work are necessary and dialogs among participants help clarify goals. The Social Discovery Framework suggests that (1) there are important processes in building capacity and then seeking solutions and (2) those that initiate requests are often as important as those who seek solutions. The implications of the Social Discovery Framework are that improved social tools to build capacity, initiate requests, and support dialog would accelerate the discovery process as much as the more visible tools for individuals seeking solutions.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

It has been suggested that the ability to efficiently shift between modes may be an important feature underlying the capacity to be creative [4,6], and possibly, of particular importance in professions such as design [10]. However current measures of convergent and divergent thinking do not allow an examination of the dynamic deployment of these different modes on the same task. The present paper outlines a novel behavioral task examining dynamic shifts between modes of thinking, with pilot data tentatively suggesting more creative people are better able to shift between modes than less creative people. A better understanding of the link between shifting and creativity could inform the design of computer-based environments to facilitate shifting between modes [5].","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

The dance production process is a creative process in which exploration and expression are paramount and we describe issues we have observed over four different dance production cycles. The Choreographer's Notebook addresses the recurring problem of scarcity of rehearsal time and space, which is a limiting factor for exploration and expression. The tool is a web-based video application that enables choreographers to provide multimodal, context-sensitive instructions and feedback to the dancers outside of formal rehearsal time. The novelty of this tool is its ability to provide a multimodal collaborative video-based workflow. This article also presents a thorough ethnographic investigation of the dance production process and results from the use of the Choreographer's Notebook as an artifact within that process.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...

We believe this expression can be achieved computationally, which is a core challenge in using procedurally-generated worlds in interactive storytelling. This computational expression so is what we call dynamic dramaturgy. We intend dynamic dramaturgy as a complement to interactive narrative systems, particularly drama management, and as a fundamentally distinct task from plot-level narrative construction, yet it is still a basic medium for artistic expression by an author. It is, in effect, an art of presentation in interactive storytelling.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ... Creativity & Cognition Conference.

The project deliverables were reviewed by external evaluators to identify level of creative output. High and low level output groups were identified and compared according to demographic data and journal responses. Grade point averages, transfer credits, and total credit hours were higher for the high creativity group in addition to evidence of higher levels of abstract thought and greater divergent thinking. Students in the high creativity group also demonstrated increased depth in thought and higher motivation throughout their creative process.","PeriodicalId":90479,"journal":{"name":"Creativity & cognition : proceedings of the ...
