Early e-learning systems, based on Computer-Based Learning / Training often attempted to replicate autocratic teaching styles whereby the role of the e-learning system was assumed to be for transferring knowledge, as opposed to systems developed later based on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning ( CSCL ), which encouraged the shared development of knowledge.

Groupware and other Computer Supported Collaborative Work ( CSCW ) platforms are now the stage of Network Creativity on the web or on other private networks.

Christopher Allen supported this definition and traced the core ideas of this concept back through Computer Supported Cooperative or Collaborative Work ( CSCW ) in the 1990s, Groupware in the 1970s and 1980s, to Englebart ’ s " augmentation " ( 1960s ) and Bush ’ s " Memex " ( 1940s ).

Distributed cognition as a theory of learning, i. e. one in which the development of knowledge is attributed to the system of thinking agents interacting dynamically with artifacts, has been widely applied in the field of distance learning, especially in relation to Computer Supported Collaborative Learning ( CSCL ) and other computer-supported learning tools.

In 2004, he ( re -) joined the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University as a Canada Research Chair in Distributed and Collaborative Research, cross-appointed in Mathematics, while preserving an adjunct appointment at Simon Fraser.

" ISLS has a large worldwide membership, is affiliated with two international journals: " Journal of the Learning Sciences ", and " International Journal of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning ", and sponsors the biennial Computer Supported Collaborative Learning conference and International Conference of the Learning Sciences on alternate years.

* Collaborative Networked Learning is a form of collaborative learning for the self-directed adult learner.

According to Findley ( 1987 ) " Collaborative Networked Learning ( CNL ) is that learning which occurs via electronic dialogue between self-directed co-learners and learners and experts.

" In the late 1980s Dr. Charles A. Findley headed the Collaborative Networked Learning project at Digital Equipment Corporation on the East Coast of the United States.

Findley's project conducted trend analysis and developed prototypes of collaborative learning environments, which became the basis for their further research and development of what they called Collaborative Networked Learning ( CNL ),
