Abstract
This paper presents an overview of an on-going effort that focuses on combined research and curriculum development. It presents a tool kit of collaboration technologies developed by our group, and an education testbed for multidisciplinary and geographically distributed teams that exercise the Internet-based Web-mediated collaborative technologies tool kit. The tool kit of collaboration technologies is aimed to assist team members, project managers and owners to: (1) capture, share, publish, and link knowledge and information related to a specific project, (2) navigate through the archived knowledge and information, (3) evaluate and explain the product's performance, and (4) interact in a timely fashion. The Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) course offered at Stanford University acts as a testbed for cutting edge information technologies and a forum that trains a new generation of professionals to team up with practitioners from other disciplines and take advantage of information technology to produce a better, faster, cheaper product. The paper concludes with a number of questions regarding the impact of information technologies on team performance and behavior.
