Introduction
Students from a university in Austria and a university in London, are
working together on a collaborative project, in order to explore how
computer networks can open up entirely new modes of collaboration.
Understanding how networks work will be the key to understanding
how our network society works. Therefore, we, students from the
UK, were encouraged to explore different ways of communication with
the students of Linz through the World Wide Web.
The chosen topic for the experience was to establish a concept
for branding UK in Austria, bringing the cultural aspects of the participating
places into the work process.
For the Preliminary Phase, the students from London were asked to provide
information on the specific features or identities of Great Britain
that are supposed to be implemented in the work.
In the UK Team we separated into teams (Students are free to join into
groups or to work alone for gathering information that "maps"
best Great Britain). Our team chose the topic of Immigration.
