Abstract: Bly observed designers communicating through three
        different media: face to face; over a video link
        that included a view of the other person and their
        drawing surface; and over the telephone. From her
        observations, she hypothesizes that the actions,
        uses, and interactions on a drawing artifact are as
        important to the effectiveness of many design
        collaborations as viewing the final artifact. Also,
        allowing designers to share drawing space activities
        increases their attention and involvement in the
        design task. When interaction over the drawing
        surface is reduced, the quality of the collaboration
        decreases.
