Abstract
This study reports preliminary findings about critical factors that promote and facilitate collaboration, cooperation and communication between members of design teams who create educational software for classroom use. Factors that discourage or contribute negatively to group interaction and production were also considered. Methods employed included pre- and post-team surveys, peer reviews, participant interviews and journals, and observations. Participants were graduate students in the Instructional Technology program in the College of Education. Although multimedia design teams in commercial settings have been the focus of many articles in business publications, there is little research-based literature about teams composed of educators developing courseware for classroom settings. In order for multimedia design teams to work together effectively, members must possess effective and well-developed skills of collaboration, cooperation and communication. Understanding how these skills may be developed and nurtured plays a critical part in courseware development and may facilitate a more effective model of instruction.
