Abstract

Educational institutions, whether they are formal or informal, present a work environment in which technology, and social and cultural interactions mediate unfolding work. The interaction between CSCW and the work of education can hold great potential for both improving the educational institutions as well as providing greater explanatory power to CSCW theories that support the work of groups and the designs that are instantiated in those theories. The goal of this workshop is to build a community interested in the intersection between CSCW and educational work practice.
