Abstract

In this paper we discuss issues related to communication and social dynamics characterizing remote collaboration between distant communities. These observations emerge from ethno-graphic researches conducted in collaborative workshop involving MIT -Massachusetts Institute of Technology students with other universities or private companies. The focus of the paper is the notion of presence. This notion is analyzed through three different related aspects: the presence of information, the presence of communication tools and, finally, the presence of people. These analysis give indications on how better design space for learning and remote collaboration using interactive multimedia communication tools.
