2 - Apprentissage interactif en ligne vs Face à Face : une étude longitudinale mixte

The goal of this speech is to report progress of an ongoing study, aimed at investigating the process of Networked Flow (NF) in creative learning teams engaged in blended collaborative setting (including both face-to-face and virtual meetings). The NF model suggests that team reaches maximum group creativity when its members experience high levels of flow and social presence. Moreover, the model predicts that emergence of NF is associated with specific group structural dynamics. To this end, we designed and executed a longitudinal study using a mixed methodology that combines qualitative, quantitative and structural analysis of group dynamics. The research protocol consisted in a longitudinal mixed-method design, which integrated: (i) the analysis of experiential features of collaborative experience (flow, social presence); (ii) the analysis of communicative interaction; (iii) the structural features of collaboration dynamics (social network indexes); (iv) the assessment of the quality of the creative product. The analysis of the data will be focused on understanding the possible links between processual, structural and experiential features of the creative collaboration, as well as on identifying design guidelines for interventions aimed at improving group creativity.
