Abstract
This article examines the influence of physical proximity (co-location vs. distance) and the medium (paper vs. online) on idea generation. It especially focusses on a popular brainwriting technique – namely Method 6-3-5. For this, an experiment with altogether 𝑁 = 134 Engineering Design students was conducted. The results show that the mode of interaction generally does not bias the quantity of ideas generated, but that the rate of graphical representations drops slightly.
