• Resumen

  • The study compares pairs of computer science and engineering students working distributed over several rooms with pairs collocated in one room. The task was to control and program a remotely located laser display device. In each case they were supported by a remote tutor. Distributed persons communicated over video conferencing, text chat and desktop sharing. Statistically significant correlations were found between initial knowledge and task performance (r = 0.581, p = 0.019). Setting alone was not statistically significant, but became significant when eliminating initial knowledge in a partial correlation (r = 0.524, p = 0.040).
