Abstract

This chapter will explore the advantages of a kitchen setting as a place to enhance collaborative learning and design. We will then introduce a special persona present in such a collaborative cooking session—the Kitchen Captain—who enhances communication and ideas among the participants while giving cooking support to whoever might need it. We will introduce her traits as a pattern language. These concepts were all mined out from actual experiences of the authors with collaborative cooking—CoCooking—and were derived from a broader persona called the Generator.
