Project CSC*

CSC* explores issues such as social interaction, learning and innovation that occur in use of digital technologies across workplace, classroom and leisure settings. We are particularly interested in comparing and contrasting activity in these different settings, looking at commonalities and how activities that are visible in one setting may also occur less visibly or by better design, be encouraged to occur in other settings. Currently, we mostly focus on co-located settings, but intend to expand our analysis to distributed and asynchronous activity.
