In business where CSCL is more along the lines of CSCW, higher quality products are the ultimate goal. The other outcome, in both business and education would be the social gains acquired from executing the necessary behaviors to collaborate in ways that achieve assignment or team goals.

Robert Barton on 11 Jun 07(Robert Barton) A very informative paper Jesse. I'm unfamiliar with the acronym CSCW. In business, I don't believe there is as much emphasis placed on CL when compared to education. Employees are hired for a specific purpose and if working in a team environment, they may get together once a week, sometime once every two weeks. I work as a ID on a team of 12 (SME's and web developers) developing CBT. We may meet once every 2-3 weeks, as per the project manager. Most times, in business, the team knows what is required to accomplish a goal and they act accordingly. In education, the goals may seem unclear at first. They are ultimately satisfied one assignment at a time.

While space does not allow for it, the “conditions” category is only magnified when the topic of CSCL is introduced.
-
(Robert Barton) Your comment regarding "conditions" has me curious. I understand your rationale for omitting it, but can you expound a little more on this topic, or possibly provide a link for further reading?

When collaboration goes online, “simultaneous interaction” no longer becomes necessary or even possible.
-
(Robert Barton) I believe online simultaneous interaction is possible when participating in a synchronous chat. We've conducted a few and have interacted quite well :). Without researching PIES, has Kagan adapted his theory to include distance education?
