Computer supported cooperative work

Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) is when people use computers to work together on tasks like projects or homework. It is like having a group of friends helping each other complete a project. The computers allow everyone to work together from different places so that nobody has to be in the same room. They can also share information quickly, make changes quickly, and work on the project at the same time. CSCW makes it easier for people to work together even if they are far away.
