Abstract

Collaborative technologies are complex and multi-faceted, and evaluating them (understanding how effective they are in use) is difficult. This is partly because they are complicated technical systems, comprising software, hardware and communications components; but also because they have effects upon individuals, groups and organisations. Thus to evaluate collaborative technologies in use requires us to take into account all of these different aspects.
