Abstract

We are interested in the influence that specific social contexts have on tabletop territorial behaviour. To study this, we observed use of the collaborative educational simulation application SimMed by students and experienced doctors. In this particular setting, we found very little evidence of territorial behaviour. We report on the results of the study, examine possible causes for the absence of territories and discuss potential implications for application design.
