ABSTRACT
This book analyses some of the main educational, social and
technological issues in the use of computer-mediated communication and
computer networking for online collaborative learning, both in
distance education and in corporate and organizational environments.
Collaborative learning is defined as 'individual learning as a result
of group interactions and processes'. The papers in the book arose
from a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held on the sailing ship
Najaden. (From publisher's information)
