Description¶

The Ideation Hub is an online platform built for this study to run structured hybrid brainstorming sessions. It "provides task instructions for both individual and group phases, enforces time limits, and presents the necessary rules before and during each phase". It delivers condition-specific scaffolds: SCAMPER question prompts with principle descriptions and examples in the experimental conditions, and condition-dependent display or hiding of individually generated ideas during the group phase to manipulate cognitive group awareness.
