Supporting Online Creative Collaboration: Tools and Social Context

Further, I’ll share empirical results on the context for collaboration, particularly how users’ (mis)understandings of copyright law affect their online behavior.
Amy Bruckman is a Professor and Associate Chair in the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on online collaboration. She studies how to create a motivating and supportive context for creation and sharing, and learning through this process.
Bruckman received her Ph.D. from the MIT Media Lab’s Epistemology and Learning group in 1997, her M.S.V.S. from the Media Lab’s Interactive Cinema Group in 1991, and a B.A. in physics from Harvard University in 1987. In 1999, she was named one of the 100 top young innovators in science and technology in the world (TR100) by Technology Review magazine. In 2002, she was awarded the Jan Hawkins Award for Early Career Contributions to Humanistic Research and Scholarship in Learning Technologies.
