    Collaboration in co-located collaborative digital games - towards a quadripartite taxonomy
    (Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-04-19) Baykal, Gökçe Elif; Eriksson, E.; Torgersson, O.; Communication Design; BAYKAL, Gökçe Elif
    In this paper, we propose a taxonomy for the classification of collaborative interaction situations derived from studying a set of co-located collaborative gameplay sessions. The taxonomy builds on the MDA framework and Activity Theory (AT) as top-level attributes, and offers the analytical dimensions WHAT, WHO, WHEN and HOW, each containing a number of sub-categories, for evaluating different levels of collaborative interaction mediated by games. The work is based on a three stage process: design of game instances, data collection, and analysis of play sessions. This taxonomy is an initial step towards capturing the complexity of collaboration mediated by games, and helps in understanding and studying collaboration as a phenomena in game design. Our preliminary work provides a characterization of multiple dimensions of collaborative interaction, providing game designers a starting point for deeper understanding into collaborative interaction mediated by a collocated gameplay.

    Designing for children’s reflections in collaborative interaction mediated by technology: A systematic literature review
    (Interaction Design and Architectures, 2021) Baykal, Gökçe Elif; Torgersson, O.; Eriksson, E.; Communication Design; BAYKAL, Gökçe Elif
    Reflection is an integral part of collaborative interaction. However, we know little about how to design for reflection in collaborative activities mediated by technologies. This systematic literature review focuses on children’s reflections within the collaborative practices in child-computer interaction research and investigates (1) the link between reflection and collaborative activities, (2) the types of collaborative technologies to scaffold reflection, and (3) the methodological approaches to analyze reflection. We searched the ACM Digital Library, Scopus and ProQuest which resulted in 141 papers that make the link between terms ‘reflection’ and ‘collaboration’ explicit, where only 13 of these involve children as the primary actors of reflection. The results show that this topic is increasingly gaining attention, however, the link between reflection and collaborative interaction remains underdeveloped. The contribution of this study is to provide a theoretical and methodological basis to understand, analyze and support children’s reflections within a collaborative activity through technology.

    Quadropong - Conditions for mediating collaborative interaction in a co-located collaborative digital game using multi-display composition
    (ACM, 2022-10) Eriksson, E.; Pedersen, J. O.; Bagge, R.; Kristensen, J. B.; Lervig, M.; Torgersson, O.; Baykal, Gökçe Elif; Communication Design; BAYKAL, Gökçe Elif
    In this demo, we present Quadropong, a co-located collaborative digital game using multi-display composition. It consists of conditions in the form of ten game instances designed to mediate various levels of collaborative interaction in players. The conditions were designed based on variations in interdependence and in symmetry and asymmetry in skills and resources. The preliminary results from playtests indicate that it is possible to design conditions to mediate various levels of collaborative interaction.
