Evaluating collaboration in CSCL application domain within the CSCW Lab

The CSCW Lab is an environment for evaluating groupware within research groups. Four dimensions in assessing groupware were identified: context, collaboration, usability and cultural impacts. We present a proposal to detail the collaboration level, specifically for CSCL domain applications. The model includes a set of guidelines to evaluate the usage of CSCL tools within a collaboration process defined along with the learning objectives.
