Abstract :
The design of multi-user interfaces poses additional problems in terms of communicative systems, since not only must users interact with software, but also among themselves. This paper presents a semiotically motivated proposal for an interactive language design model that supports explanations about design rationale and augments the “teachability” of computer supported collaborative work applications
