Abstract:

A method provides users with a simple way to give real-time feedback during a collaborative activity in a virtual environment, which can then be captured and synchronized with other aspects of the interactions such as verbal communication, text messaging, and the activity they were completing for later review. The patterns of activity can then be displayed graphically to easily visualize the patterns of interactions that occurred during the collaboration. Comments by reviewers can be inserted into the record of the interaction after looking over the graphical display.
