Abstract: Groups completed a priorization task in a "low
        structure" computerized meeting room. All group
        members had equal access to a public screen used to
        complete the task. The authors studied how groups
        distributed control of the technology, the
        determinants of which group members took control,
        and the consequences of control. They noticed that
        proficiency with the computer interface and the
        social influence are factors which predicted who
        will take control. Dedicated versus non-dedicated
        scribes are also discussed.
