Abstract:
Analysing collective design activities is a difficult task, especially in a context that involves the remote collaboration and/or multidisciplinarity. It is thus necessary to define a dedicated analysis process, instrumented by tools that can facilitate the data acquisition and visualization. The method presented here enables to cross-reference the two aspects of a complex collective activity: the process and the content treated by a group. Our method offers the possibility to analyse different types of collective work configurations (co- attendance or remote / instrumented or not). Its flexibility leaves the possibility to the researcher to update his frame and thus avoid the preconceptions earlier defined before the activity without possibility to reconsider.
