    Abstract

    Groupware is designed to provide opportunities for physically dispersed computer users to co-operate in a manner akin to a face-to-face meeting. Little is understood, however, of the factors that might influence its success. One possible factor is 'floor control', or turntaking, which is an important feature of face-to-face meetings. The paper describes experiments designed to examine the importance of turn-taking in computer-mediated communications, in comparison with face-to-face conversations, and considers means whereby turntaking behaviour, and hence the effectiveness of groupware, can be improved.
