This data was collected by researchers at the University of Toronto under the Research Ethics Board Protocol 44460. The dataset is a transcript of the first 2 hours and 9 minutes of collaborative design communication between four members of a team during a North American hackathon in 2023. The design activities captured in the transcript dataset include team formation, idea generation, idea selection, discussions of team goals, and premature team dissolution. The dataset has six variables (index, timestamp, speaker, speech segment, open code(s), and axial code(s)) and 908 lines of speech.
