A Pilot Study to Inform the Design of a Supportive Environment for Challenge-Based Collaboration

In the course “An introduction to FinTech: from mobile payments to blockchains”, students are introduced to the broad area of FinTech, from both technical and business side. The course consists of two technical lectures that explain the students the basic technology for authentication and blockchain and two entrepreneurship lectures that discuss the fintech business ecosystem. In the rest of the course the students work on a project provided by companies in which they put into practice the obtained knowledge and provide a solution to a real life challenge. The course is face-to-face, with two weekly sessions of 2 h each. The students work in teams and each week they need to show progress/work towards the challenge resolution. The students are not constrained in any way and are asked to self organize for the team work. In this study we present the results we obtained from questionnaires that we delivered before the course on course expectations (that we used also to form the teams), during the course on teams’ dynamics, and after the course to measure students’ perception on collaboration strategies. We end the paper with a reflection on the design space for an application that can support this type of collaborative work online.</p
