ABSTRACT
On-line
collaboration is becoming increasingly common in education and with
organisations. It is believed that this can in itself cause stress for
collaborators. We believe that in some ways stress can be designed out of
on line collaborative exercises through management of the on-line working
processes. This paper investigates methods of reducing stress on line and
proposes some principles for constructing on-line collaborative events to
ensure that stress is eliminated or at least minimised.
