Abstract
Change awareness is the ability of individuals to track the
asynchronous changes made to a collaborative document or surface by other
participants over time. We develop a framework that articulates what change
awareness in-formation is critical if people are to track and maintain change
awareness. Information elements include: knowing who changed the artifact,
what those changes involve, where changes occur, when changes were made, how
things have changed, and why people made the changes. The framework also
accounts for people�s need to view these changes from different
perspectives: an artifact-based view, a person-based view, and a
workspace-based view.
