Using Personal Construct Techniques for Collaborative Evaluation

Efforts are under way to characterize better group processes at the Boeing Company as part of a project to design software for computer-supported collaboration. This paper describes work in progress to support multi-user, collaborative situations using Aquinas, a knowledge acquisition workbench. An experiment is described in which Aquinas is used to facilitate the collaborative evaluation of an in-house Boeing Advanced Technology Center course in knowledge engineering.
