Analysing interactions during collaborative writing with the computer: an innovative methodology
The writing process becomes a recursive task, where each change prompts others to make more changes.
In a true collaborative environment, each contributor has an equal ability to add, edit, and remove text.

 Using Tools and Resources in CSCW
The relationship between collaboration processes, task strategies and the use of the tools and resources that the computer environment offers, may be crucial for the effects of computer supported collaborative learning.
From our analyses we may conclude that the tools and resources the students use during collaborative writing seem to reflect the writing strategies they adhere to and that the use of these tools and resources in the different phases of the collaborative writing process is related to the argumentative quality of the final product.
In a further analysis of the topics the students chat about, we found that 47% of the chat is about planning of the writing task on a meta-cognitive level, 36% of the topics are content related and 17% of the topics is not task related, social chat.

 Peer-to-Peer Technologies and Collaborative Writing
Groove's potential as a collaborative writing environment is limited by two main drawbacks: students must have access to a networked computer with the Groove software installed, and the interface metaphor is contextually limiting.
Groove is appealing for use in collaborative writing classrooms because it offers a range of tools and its platform supports many of the functions necessary to create a successful collaborative environment.
This system presents "a taxonomy of five levels of collaborative writing tools that can be used for school learning" (7).

 Collaborative writing before Wikis - High School Online Collaborative Writing
Similarly, when we write we are drawing on the language resources that we have intenalized over many years of talking with others, reading what others write, listening to other language users, or watching others combine language with other media.
Writing in any medium is more or less collaborative, and for many teachers, this a lot more than a theoretical metaphor.
Still, writing in a wiki might be collaborative in radically new ways.

 Untitled Document
She says that since collaborative learning and writing depend so heavily on basic shared assumptions or patterns, it may not work with ESL students (98).
So, now that there is an established definition as to what collaborative learning is and some of the tools that are required to make use of it, it is important to determine how and why collaborative learning offers a benefit to students.
No, I was part of the process of writing and the development of ideas and knowledge, but not part of the actual essays.

 Writing Groupware
Collaborative writing software is part of a larger genre of software called groupware or "computer supported cooperative or collaborative work" (see also Computer Supported Cooperative Work project and the ACM international Conferences on Computer Supported Cooperative Work).
An actual hands-on demonstration of the CoWord product is also available, but requires users to have Micosoft Word 2000 on their computers to see and use the software.
This absence is all the more noticeable in the area of computer software that supports and facilitates group writing.

 Late 20th Centry Trends in Collaborative Writing
A teacher of an undergraduate literature course, inspired by the increasing use of collaborative writing in the work place and by reader-response criticism, required a collaborative writing assignment in the course, using a computer laboratory.
It is difficult to even describe collaboration as a step-by-step procedure because collaborative writing involves students working in a variety of communal environments.
In the lab the students collaborate on all writing assignments, as part of an ongoing research effort (Moberg, 1988).

 Collaborative Writing
Sequential coordination involves dividing the writing task in such a way that the first part of the task must be completed before any other portions of the task.
Given that writing is a complex, open-ended task, there are many ways of stating meaning.
The communication requirements of the writing task are: task division, brainstorming, editing, general discussion, and goal setting.

All three criteria were satisfied by writing a program in C source code that uses changes in the query string to signal different entry points in to a common block of code.
At USU, both students and their instructors are now able to visualize all writing as a collaborative process and the multi-voiced intertextual nature of their texts has been given full reign to flourish in the hypertext environment.
The issue is further complicated by the fact that most beginning college students face serious problems of cost, access, and compatibility of both computer hardware and software and are therefore constrained in their ability to participate in collaborative writing outside of computer laboratories.

 Paired Collaborative Writing
Obviously, the Paired Writing method is only one of many possible ways in which collaborative writing could be structured and scaffolded.
Several stages of the Paired Writing method might prove efficiently operable in a computer-assisted writing environment.
Although primarily conceived as a cross-ability method (and also suitable for use by parents or other helpers), it can also operate on a same-ability basis, the latter possibly maximising mutual interest and respect and permitting reciprocation of roles to increase novelty.

 On The Net - The Changing Information Cycle
The Web has succeeded so spectacularly as a new publishing and communication medium for many reasons—the ease with which anyone can publish, the ability to change and update content, the interconnectedness from linking, the lack of a limit to the quantity of information published, and more.
Active since 2001, it now has over 290,000 articles, many of which not only rank well in search engine results but also contain some quality writing and a good source for many kinds of information.
The reader can look for book reviews that might criticize the information quality and compare it to other similar books, but, again, the reader needs to know how to find book reviews.

 Support for collaborative writing
Although research in computational linguistics from the 1980s is applied in many of the writers' tools that are now available (so-called style checkers, etc), there is still much room for improvement.
She then investigated a number of stylistic measures to see whether they could distinguish single-author texts from the `collaborative' ones.
However, a frequent problem, especially in technical writing, when a document is composed of elements contributed by several different people, is that while each element might be individually `good', they do not work well together as a whole.
