A usability study of awareness widgets in a shared workspace groupware system
Abstract
Workspace awareness is knowledge about others' interaction with a shared workspace. Groupware systems provide only limited information about other participants, often compromising workspace awareness. This paper describes a usability study of several widgets designed to help maintain awareness in a groupware workspace. These widgets include a miniature view, a radar view, a multiuser scrollbar, a glance function, and a "what you see is what I do" view. The study examined the widgets' information content, how easily people could interpret them, and whether they were useful or distracting. Observations, questionnaires, and interviews indicate that the miniature and radar displays are useful and valuable for tasks involving spatial manipulation of artifacts. Keywords Workspace awareness, shared workspaces, usability study. INTRODUCTION People maintain an ongoing awareness of others in physical workspaces like whiteboards and tabletops, and they do this using everyday perceptual abilit...

“As he says, building systems that support these transitions is important, if difficult, Dourish and Bellotti [4] apply these ideas more specifically to shared workspaces, and define awareness as an understanding of the activities of others, which provides a context for your own activity (p. 107).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
