as part of student project a
small group of students the school of applied psychology from the
university of applied sciences of north western
Switzerland has been looking at how we, the OpenSim community, utilize
the different communication media for collaboration in Open Sim: when
do we use in-world meetings, when do we use email, when do we IRC.<br>
<br>
the main goal
of their study is to see which of the available collaboration tools is
best accepted and used by the community and why. this insight will give
them the possibilty to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of the
existing
tools (hopefully) and give feedback on how communication might be
adjusted to best fit the needs of the community.
