Good survey of the development of collaboration tools in e-learning. Bonk observes that while "collaborative e-learning tools are changing the way we work, learn and socialize," it is still the case that "e-learning needs to catch up to collaborative work environments already in place." Indeed, he asks, "Instead of managing learners, who is building e-learning tools to empower and motivate learners? Why are most e-learning systems individual when learning is a social phenomenon? Why do they typically teach discrete facts apart from the context in which they will be used?"
