Abstract
The paradigm shift (Hughes et al. 1991) from human-computer interaction to that which considers the group work, communication, social, political, and physical context within which a CSCW system is used presents numerous design and development problems. The HCI system iterative design cycle approach, including both formative and summative evaluation activities, is a valuable and potentially productive model for CSCW. However, the particular methods used within this iterative design cycle to evaluate a CSCW environment require development to accommodate the broader perspective opened up through consideration of group working supported by and through computer systems.
