Design Patterns for Cross-Cultural Computer-Supported Collaborative Design Learning (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper introduces design patterns for cross-cultural computer-supported collaborative design learning. It presents four patterns derived from an in-depth analysis of interactions between Hong Kong and Korean distributed teams and a cross-cultural comparison of interactions within these teams to interactions in Hong Kong/Austrian, Hong Kong/US-American and Hong Kong/Taiwanese teams. The patterns concentrate on design solutions that resolve breakdowns in the collaborative interaction between those cultures.
