HCD.22:4.1 - Keep the whole work question and choose the dependence

Use HCD.6’s qualified task result, domain criteria, meaningful conditions, critical errors and permissible help. Retain the purpose and recipient of the work result so that fragments do not become arbitrary puzzles.

Choose the dependence that serves the intended operation:

DependenceUseful constructionCharacteristic failure and repair
Different evidence or informationParticipants interpret distinct relevant observations and make them usable for a joint inference.A person reads a fragment verbatim without understanding it, or a missing fragment blocks everyone. Require its implication and restore the missing qualified content.
Different interpretations or groundsParticipants compare defensible rival models, objections or solutions against common conditions.A vote replaces examination. Require the condition and evidence that support or defeat each option.
Complementary work partsSeveral contributions must be integrated into a result whose interfaces matter.Each learns only their assigned fragment although everyone needs the whole. Add the required cross-part explanation or later task, or narrow the target explicitly.
Shared equipment or actionParticipants perform useful observer and operator actions around a limited resource.Observation is empty or substitutes for required manipulation. Specify the observer’s judgement and provide the necessary personal turns.
Explanation to a recipientA learner must make a relation intelligible enough for someone else to use, and respond to that person’s question.Fluent speech is accepted without recipient use. Ask the recipient to apply or distinguish the relation and return the actual difficulty.

Several dependencies can coexist, but each adds work. Do not manufacture secrecy, delay or scarce access merely to make collaboration unavoidable. If all needed learning actions are better supported individually, return that result to HCD.20.

A common answer is required only when it contributes to the purpose. Participants can profitably contrast their own models and revise them without creating a separate team report. Where a common result matters, define how it must use the constituent contributions.
