Abstract

Working and studying remotely has become increasingly prevalent, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Research and design of these locations have thus become even more relevant. Distributed Cognition and particularly the DiCoT (Distributed Cognition for Teamwork) framework has been used in previous studies to analyse and design teamwork and teamworking locations. However, research on this specific topic of remote working and hybrid work with DiCoT has been limited. This paper targets this research gap. The empirical research is conducted with an online diary and ethnographic field study, to produce insights into these locations of remote- and hybrid work and about the framework itself. As a result, 13 Primary Empirical Conclusions are produced. DiCoT can be seen as a promising lens for the analysis and design of remote working locations.
