Abstract |
|
|
| The Pyramid Principle says that online collaboration will be engaging, inclusive, empowering and high-performance if it is organized according to a pyramid of seven layers (elements), with knowledge sharing as the next layer below collaboration and with physical space (real or virtual) as the largest, most fundamental layer at the bottom of the pyramid. Knowledge sharing is the key to successful online collaboration and space, which underlies all thoughts – according to Immanuel Kant - is what provides a stable ground for the 5 upper layers on which online collaboration, at the top of the pyramid, must be based. Our paper will first review related literature dealing with knowledge sharing and its relevance to collaboration. Then, in the central part, we will explain in detail the Pyramid Principle and its seven layers. Finally, we will analyze and compare two types of commercial platforms (2D and 3D) for synchronous digital collaboration, focusing on how well they contribute to implementing the Pyramid Principle. |
