Comprehensive support for collaborative writing: Visualising argument, text and process structures

该项目将在国家一级提供的好处，由于合作写作（CW）在商业，政府和研究的重要性。在某种程度上，专业背景下的大多数写作都是通过合作完成的，但写作几乎完全是单独教授的。这项研究将产生一套集成的软件工具，以支持CW团队过程的各个方面，和主要创新的有效性将进行实证检验。这有可能有助于提高澳大利亚企业的竞争力及其行政系统的效率。其他好处包括改进中等和高等教育部门的电子学习工具，如在线团队学习。

This project will provide benefits on a national level due to the importance of collaborative writing (CW) in business, government, and research. Most writing in professional contexts is, to some extent, accomplished collaboratively, but writing is taught almost exclusively individually. This research will yield a suite of integrated software tools to support all aspects of the CW team process, and the effectiveness of the main innovations will be empirically tested. This has the potential to contribute to the competitiveness of Australia's businesses and to the efficiency of its administrative systems. Further benefits include improved e-learning tools in the secondary and tertiary education sector, such as online team learning.
