Abstract

This paper presents recent research into the functions and value of sketch outputs during computer supported collaborative design. Sketches made primarily exploiting whiteboard technology are shown to support subjects engaged in remote collaborative design, particularly when constructed in 'near synchronous' communication. The authors define near-synchronous communication and speculate that it is compatible with the reflective and iterative nature of design activity.
