Abstract |
|
|
| The Pyramid Principle says that online collaboration will be engaging, inclusive, empowering and highperformance 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.
