Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is an undergraduate course that explores the technical, organizational, and social issues involved in designing, developing, deploying, and evaluating computational and communication tools to support groups, organizations, communities, and networks. CSCW explores the technical, social, material, and theoretical challenges of designing technology to support collaborative work and life activities. This course will provide an initial survey of CSCW research and practices in the past 25 years and give students hands-on experience through a group design project aimed at orienting students to design for cooperative activities.

This course will cover topics:
1) History and foundations of CSCW 2) Theories of Organizations 3) Software design for complex interactions involving multiple users 4) Workflow systems 5) Collocated collaboration and trust 6) Collaboration over distance (i.e., awareness, boundary objects) 7) Electronic Group Dynamics (i.e., social media, online communities) 8) Telework, crowdwork, and virtual teams 9) Information infrastructure (i.e., Enterprise software, global software development)
10) Large-scale collaborative science
