Social spaces, casual interactions, meaningful exchanges: 'information ground' characteristics based on the college student experience

Abstract

"By understanding better the characteristics of 'information grounds' and the interactions among these characteristics, we may be able to develop social spaces in support of information flow and human interaction. Our college student and other studies suggest that 'information grounds' play an intrinsic role in facilitating communication among people and that by building an in-depth 'information grounds' typology, beginning with basic categorical characteristics, we may develop new methods for facilitating information exchange."
