Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for evaluating contributions in collaborative environments are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining indications of tasks of a given workload that are completed by respective ones of a plurality of client devices. The method also includes identifying first and second tasks completed by first and second client devices at first and second times, determining whether the first task provides a clue for the second task and whether the second time is within a designated time window starting after the first time, and analyzing eye-gaze information to determine whether a second user of the second client device observed a first user of the first client device performing the first task. The method further comprises modifying contribution scores for the first and second users responsive to the determinations.
