BUILDING AN APPROACH TO WORK TOGETHER IN SECOND LIFE

Supported Cooperative Work or, CSCW, is an area that aims to understand how technology works in the performance of work and tasks together, covering the computational support of activities involving more than one person (1). Studies and experiments in Second Life helped confirm the need for an approach that facilitates collaborative work. This article describes the activities carried out by a group of students to develop a minimum set of tools to improve collaboration in meetings of acquiring knowledge and decision making. Will be presented in this article the activities carried out, the challenges encountered, challenges and results. The project of creation of this new approach of collaborative work, covered the activities of software development life cycle such as requirements analysis, specification (use cases, GOMS, storyboards), implementation, execution, testing and evaluation.
