Abstract
Tools for collaborating in distributed, virtual spaces support concepts of multidisciplinary authorship that challenge notions of individual production. Technical communicators are no longer able to control these new communication environments. But we can seek to understand content users who have now become content producers. This presentation will look at new tools for collaborative design work and communication in virtual spaces, with consideration of how this work can be applied to teaching technical communication in engineering disciplines.
