Abstract

Group creativity and innovation are of chief importance for both collaborative learning and collaborative working, as increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of groups of individuals performing together specific activities to achieve common goals, in given contexts, is of crucial importance nowadays. Nevertheless, construction of “the most” creative and innovative groups given a cohort of people and a set of common goals and tasks to perform is challenging. We present here our method for semi-automatic construction of “the most” creative and innovative teams given a group of persons and a particular goal, which is based on unsupervised learning and it is supported by a multiagent system. Individual creativity and motivation are both factors influencing group creativity used in the experiments performed with our Computer Science students. However, the method is general and can be used for building the most creative and innovative groups in any collaborative situation.

Towards Construction of Creative Collaborative Teams Using Multiagent Systems

Group creativity and innovation are of chief importance for both collaborative learning and collaborative working, as increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of groups of individuals performing together specific activities to achieve common goals, in given contexts, is of crucial importance nowadays. Nevertheless, construction of “the most” creative and innovative groups given a cohort of people and a set of common goals and tasks to perform is challenging. We present here our method for semi-automatic construction of “the most” creative and innovative teams given a group of persons and a particular goal, which is based on unsupervised learning and it is supported by a multiagent system. Individual creativity and motivation are both factors influencing group creativity used in the experiments performed with our Computer Science students.
