| Abstract: | The author considers the problem of supercharging the audience through simultaneous discussions during presentations. Presentations are a key method for achieving a clear understanding of complex ideas among large groups of people. However, there is often little time for genuine interaction among presenters and their audience. With standard method this would be impossible, yet with Group Support Systems (GSS) this scenario can be realized fairly easily. A GSS is a suite of software tools for focusing and structuring group deliberation, while reducing the cognitive costs of communications and information access among teams making a joint cognitive effort toward a goal. |
