The group-view display should contain mechanisms to regulate the participants' access to the group-view display to allow information to be provided in an orderly manner.
Additional Information:
Failure to provide regulating mechanisms may result in (1) conflict between users as they try to coordinate their presentations and (2) higher attention and processing demands for viewers as they attempt to identify contributors and process information from multiple presenters. In addition, mechanisms for regulating the participants' access should be compatible with social conventions of communication (e.g., preventing one person from monopolizing communication to the extent that it excludes all others) to allow effective use and maintain user acceptance. Any social mechanisms adopted by users for regulating the participants' access to the group-view display should support effective use of the system under a full range of plant conditions.
