Abstract

The Co-EnACT collaboration framework presented in Chapter 1 has served to examine a range of research addressing how children work and play together using different digital technologies. In this conclusion, I summarise the framework and its underpinning, and then briefly mention aspects I have had less to say about: the role of adults, and of cultures, availability of and organisational structures in technology use, implications for teaching and supporting collaboration, and some of the learning about co-located collaboration taken from the experience of a global pandemic.
