Cogburn, an expert in global information and communication technology, will present a series of two workshops that will explore key concepts and technologies that underlie the need to conduct work with people at geographically distributed locations. The first workshop, “Theories of Geographically Distributed Collaboration,” will be presented from 3-4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 19, and Wednesday, Sept. 20, in Room 347 of Hinds Hall.
The second workshop, “Practice of Geographically Distributed Collaboration,” will be presented from 3-4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3, and from 10-11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 4, in Room 347 of Hinds Hall. The second workshop will build on the concepts developed in the first workshop by enabling participants to engage in a “hands-on” exploration of the possibilities of this socio-technical infrastructure.
