Assignment Overview

Computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) was developed to support teams by providing team members with powerful and convenient ways to schedule their interactions, communicate with each other, and record and update group output. Much of the early research in this area was focused on understanding the complex relationships between the social aspects of teamwork and the technical features of CSCW and looking for ways to improve the quality both of the teamwork and the groupware. Groupware has evolved with technology improvements including cloud computing and networking enabling everywhere, anytime group collaboration.
