Key essay.


=Description=

"The power of the unaided, individual mind is highly
overrated: the Renaissance scholar no longer exists. Although creative individuals are often thought of as
working in isolation, the role of interaction and collaboration with other individuals is critical [Engelbart,
1995]. Creative activity grows out of the relationship between an individual and the world of his or her
work, and from the ties between an individual and other human beings. The predominant activity in
designing complex systems is that participants teach and instruct each other [Greenbaum & Kyng, 1991].
Because complex problems require more knowledge than any single person possesses, it is necessary that
all involved stakeholders participate, communicate, and collaborate with each other."
