Recent studies of collaboration demonstrate that simply bringing people together in groups with some task, or pooling the group's knowledge, are insufficient conditions to lead to productive real collaboration (Barron, 2003; Salas, Shawn, & Burke, 2005). One recent approach to learning called Knowledge Creation (Paavola & Hakkarainen, 2005) depicts learning as a collaborative activity aimed at creating new knowledge mediated through the creation and development of shared knowledge objects (e.g., research reports, instructional material or scientific models). According to this approach, collaborative learning does not serve only individual learning or only social interaction. Rather, collaboration is seen as organized around common knowledge objects whose creation and development defines their purpose.
