Abstract
Team work is not new for an organization to enhance the quality and quantity of the answer against the problem [1]. Increasingly, the completion of design work needs group’s effort, leading the request of communication tools to reduce the cost and time for traveling to place the face-to-face discussion. Many studies have devoted to the field using computer-mediated communication tools to support cooperative design work. On the other hand, the utilization of brainstorming in producing many ideas has been recognized. The pervasive usage of telecommunication tools and brainstorming in design work prompts an interest about how brainstorming is conducted over a distance. The study described in this paper attempts to explore such an interest with a view to suggesting the way improving the cooperative design activity over a distance and the design of telecommunication tools to facilitate cooperative design activity.

The Influence of Communication Environment to the Brainstorming Practice.
Team work is not new for an organization to enhance the quality and quantity of the answer against the problem [1]. Increasingly, the completion of design work needs group’s effort, leading the request of communication tools to reduce the cost and time for traveling to place the face-to-face discussion. Many studies have devoted to the field using computer-mediated communication tools to support cooperative design work. On the other hand, the utilization of brainstorming in producing many ideas has been recognized. The pervasive usage of telecommunication tools and brainstorming in design work prompts an interest about how brainstorming is conducted over a distance. The study described in this paper attempts to explore such an interest with a view to suggesting the way improving the cooperative design activity over a distance and the design of telecommunication tools to facilitate cooperative design activity.
