Sequential collaboration describes a knowledge construction process in which a contributor starts by creating an entry which is sequentially adjusted or maintained by following contributors. This collaboration process can be found for example in Wikipedia. In this project gathering information and making decisions based on information shared in sequential collaboration is compared to group discussions. Collaborative online projects emerged shortly after more and more house holds had access to the Internet and today these projects are an integral part of everyday life. Looking up information in Wikipedia or navigating with OpenStreetMap are pervasive. Nonetheless, sequential collaboration as a tool to share information and work collaboratively is only little noticed. Whereas Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap allow thousands of contributors to share millions of pieces of information, sequential collaboration can also be used for information sharing in smaller groups. Such small groups typically share information through direct communication, i.e., discussion, and make decisions based on the information gathered. However, this poses the risk that group members’ knowledge is not optimally integrated and decision errors are common. Thus, this project examined how individuals share information in smalls groups via sequential collaboration, which information was shared and how accurate resulting decisions were. As a benchmark, sharing information and decision making via group discussions was considered. In an empirical study with a sample from the genereal public, no difference in information sharing as well as subsequent decisions emereged between sequential collaboration and group discussions.
