Abstract

This paper is focused on a review of application areas of one form of group support system (GSS), based on the use of wireless handsets, which we have termed ‘low impact’ in type. Our aim is two-fold: to inform understanding of how a ‘low impact’ design impacts on three ‘learning and deciding’ type applications in areas of classroom support, decision making in groups, and organisational learning; and to develop a unifying theory which reflects evidence from field-based applications. The paper is not concerned with the use of handsets for electronic voting or surveys, and utilizes selected evidence obtained from the use of this design of group support in real life contexts.
