CSCW: A Comprehensive Overview

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is a field of study that focuses on the way technology can help groups to work together more effectively. It is a multidisciplinary field, combining aspects of computer science, sociology, and psychology, among others.

At its core, CSCW is about understanding the relationship between technology and group work, and how the former can be designed to support the latter. This involves studying the ways in which people work together, and how technology can facilitate this.
