Computers for Collaboration

I am interested in collaboration as a form of communication. I see that collaboration fits well under the sub-category communication because many of the same methods are used. It is important to note that you cannot collaborate without first having both sides communicate to share their ideas and combine the separate parts.

Off of the Internet, people are collaborating through:

Snail Mail (U.S. Postal Service)
Telephone
Shared Laboratories/Facilities and Human Resources
Facsimilie Machines
Conferences/Committees and Meetings
Brainstorming/Think Tanks

On the Internet, people are collaborating by:

Sending Email
FTP files to/from each other
Information Access/Public Service
Our Class Home Page
The Electronic Picturebook
Informal Collaboration Using Information Retrieval
Collaborative Visualization
Computer Conferencing (Source: Educational Technology, V34, N5, P20-26)
