Resumen de Distributed group work in a remote programming laboratory – a comparative study
A. Böhne, N. Faltin, B. Wagner
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).
