Whereas this might have been a new terrain for some, IT-supported work and the related research domain Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) have been around for decades. In this article we briefly review what CSCW has to offer for the currently increasing demand in setting up remote collaboration – and share our own observations about what happened when collaboration tools have been introduced in the pandemic. As a summary, we present some learnings from the experience – both for the current state of CSCW research and for future work.enComputer-Supported Cooperative WorkCSCWCOVID-19collaboration toolsremote workawarenessboundary managementText/Journal Article10.1515/icom-2021-00282196-6826
