Computer network

When the group is working to complete a computer network task, it is common to expect actions being made to objects placed in a workspace shared by the groups’ participants. The objects and the shared workspace are important elements that affect the performance of the group as a whole because the cooperation and the interactions among the group occur through the manipulations of the objects. The awareness of what is happening in the shared workspace is called workspace awareness and it is similar to the perception that a participant has of each other and the work when they are sitting around a table during physical meetings. Workspace awareness is defined as the upto-the-moment understanding of another person’s interaction with a shared workspace and involves knowledge about where others are working, what they are doing, and what they are going to do next
