Paper Abstract:
|
Although we, as scientists, are used to the reality of a laboratory, not as many are familiar with the concept of virtual
laboratory, especially in the social sciences, where much of the work is done in the field and often relies on direct human
contact. Nevertheless, it is not infrequently the case that experts in specialized domains are separated by thousands of
miles, and thereby not able to collaborate fruitfully. In such a context, a virtual laboratory may be a solution. But,
questions arise immediately: What could be the form of collaboration in a virtual laboratory? How is it possible to
instrument such a laboratory? What kind of competencies do the members of a virtual laboratory need? What about
language barriers? This paper describes the foundation concepts of an online platform named social-issues.org whose
main focus is on collaborative experimentation, testing, and learning in the social sciences. |
