Collaborative Creativity: A Computational Approach: Raw Shaping Form Finding in Higher Education Domain

This paper examines the conceptual synthesis processes in conjunction with assistive computational support for individual and collaborative interaction. We present findings from two educational design interaction experiments in product creation processing (PCP). We focus on metacognitive aspects of interaction, externalization and, representation to obtain better performance, shorter ideation time and enhance creativity. Self-regulated learning (SRL) and collaborative computer supported reflective learning (CSRL) have strong links with our research on hybrid computational design tools
