ARC Discovery Project

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

This project is funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery grant

Prof Peter Reimann, Dr Rafael A Calvo, Dr Kalina Yacef

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.
