Abstract

The aim of this article is to review how IM may be used to support e-collaboration. This is addressed by reviewing studies on IM in both work and in higher education settings. These two settings “share the problem of creating and sustaining a positive work and learning environment” (Haythornthwaite, 2000, p. 201) and by including research from both areas a deeper understanding may be obtained.
