Abstract
This paper explains that collaborative care is the teamwork of a range of health service providers, other caregivers, the patients as well as their families and the community, who have a shared goal to be attained through different skills to support patients across a wide spectrum of health related needs especially in cases dealing with depression. The author points out that a collaborative problem is where the identification and treatment is not done by nurses independently but rather as a collaborative effort; whereas, a nursing diagnosis is where the nurses identify and treat the health problem independently without any collaboration. The paper cites that potential barriers, which hinder the process of collaboration between different groups in the health care sector, are any lack of a clear vision, leadership, communication and coordination as seen in the Katrina tragedy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are different types of nursing diagnosis. A risk diagnosis is the identification of a health problem that a patient is at risk of acquiring. Another statement regarding the health problem of a patient is the possible diagnosis which tends to declare about a problem that the patient most probably has. Although due to lack of information, an accurate diagnosis is not possible. Further on there is an actual diagnosis is the diagnosis of a health problem that the patient has and nursing care can be beneficial for the patient. Moreover a syndrome diagnosis and a wellness diagnosis is when multiple nursing diagnoses are observed and to describe the characteristic of the patient when at a high state of wellness respectively."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The study of collaborative nursing is done in order to identify the impact that traits such as leadership and partnership relationships have within the field of nursing. The study of collaborative nursing within intensive care suggests patterns of behavior both among health care professionals and between nurses and patients. Collaborative nursing helps promote improved delivery of care within intensive care units through facilitation of communication between peers and between peers and patients, as well as providing an enhanced awareness of the health care setting in order to promote a stable, effective functioning relationship within closed environments (e.g. a single department such as the intensive care unit) (Pearson et al, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the health care field has developed collaborative practice in which each member of various professions within the health care field, including physicians, nurses, ancillary departments, patients and patient families, works together by sharing knowledge and insights on how to deliver high-quality patient care. The author points out that nursing diagnosis is classified as a language for nursing to standardize its practice, which allows nurses to work towards patient care in a uniform pattern by providing the nurse with a plan and interventions. The paper stresses that the primary difference between nursing diagnosis and collaborative care is that nursing diagnosis is intended for the nursing community solely; whereas, all healthcare fields work together in collaborative care.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Due to the fact that meconium was noted in the amniotic fluid, the LD nurse will collaborate with the NICU nurse at the onset of delivery. The NICU is extensively experienced with more critical issues concerning newborns. Therefore, the NICU nurse will take the first look at the newborn to make sure there are not any indications requiring more specialized care. If needed, the NICU nurse will transport the newborn quickly to the NICU unit. Even though in this situation the presence of the NICU nurse is more precautionary, her presence is important for the safety of the newborn."

Abstract
This paper discusses collaborative practice between patients and healthcare personnel. It shows how collaborative practice is used to enhance patient care and improve the outcome of the patient condition. It examines different combinations of collaboration from collaboration between the physician and the patient themselves, to a complex multidisciplinary team and discusses how not every patient will require the same level of collaboration, although every patient receives some type of collaborative care. An example of collabrative practice is provided through a case study of a woman with complications in childbirth.
From the Paper
"At this stage there can be barriers to successful collaboration. If language difficulties exist for the nurse or the patient then communication is affected. It is necessary to understand and integrate the cultural practices of the patient if possible. The patient and the physician may disagree on what the plan of care should be. The physician may want to admit the patient, yet the patient requests to sign out against medical advice. The patient may have requests, i.e. wishes to be induced which the doctor declines to do because there is no medical indication. Increasing communication at this point may facilitate successful collaboration."

Abstract
This well-researched paper defines the collaborative teaching method as an approach which is geared towards all students at various levels and abilities with the main goal being the optimum maintenance of a heterogeneous classroom. This paper details the background to this particular teaching concept which is an all inclusive methodology and philosophy intended to provide a consistent education potential for all students. This paper discusses the appeal of collaborative teaching while also detailing the common characteristics of this particular method including the atypical relationship that is formed between the teacher and the student. The writer contends and explains that one of the main advantages to this particular teaching style is the flexibility and openness that this method offers. This paper also examines the published reports which claims that not enough research has been done on the issue of inclusive and collaborative learning to definitively determine its effectiveness.

From the Paper
"An important aspect of the collaborative classroom is the sharing of authority - which is an aspect which also has raised concern among many educators. The theory is that, while previously the teacher would set all tasks and work assignments, in a collaborative or inclusive teaching environment the students are invited to participate. They can for example, "... set specific goals within the framework of what is being taught, provide options for activities and assignments that capture different student interests and goals, and encourage students to assess what they learn." The teacher would then guide the student, and suggest areas for further research and learning. The teacher is therefore seen more in the role of mediator and facilitator than a traditional authoritarian figure. This approach has a number of decided educational advantages. For example, mediation from teachers in this environment assists the strident to connect to the new information provided through his or her personal experiences - making the learning process more relevant."

"Despite the effectiveness of rubrics in assessing students' learning, developing an adequate rubric for a given course discussion requires time and multiple revisions. Primary consideration in developing a discussion, grading rubric identifies and establishes the goal or goals of the discussion. For example, some instructors want to use on-line discussion to help students learn argumentation techniques, whereas others might be more interested in students coming to consensus on a topic. Evidently different assessment rubrics would be needed to encourage each. "

"Vehicles participating in the service infrastructure are equipped with an embedded microprocessor with a display interface, a GPS receiver, a class 1 Bluetooth sensor node, and an onboard diagnostics (ODI) interface. Some vehicles may have alternative wireless network connectivity support based on an on-board cellular communication device. The ODI is used to acquire a small set of data values from mechanical and electronic sensors mounted on the vehicle. All subsystems (GPS, ODI, wireless networking and Bluetooth links) are connected and forward data to the embedded microprocessor."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that CSCL offers a unique opportunity to engage learners in the study of history and to animate historical information enhancing learning and acquisition of knowledge for the learners. This study is designed to provide information concerning the underlying nature of scaffolding strategies in computer-supported collaborative learning. The writer discusses how scaffolding based on CSCL can deliver exceptional results in enriching students with more valuable educations than merely memorizing dates, names, locations, and other mechanized forms of knowledge that will not help them become critical, discerning thinkers in the future. The writer concludes that ultimately the need is to position history as a subject that has a very high level of vitality associated with it, one that has the potential of revolutionizing their perspective and view of the world by contributing entirely new frameworks and analytical constructs by which students can make sense of a rapidly changing world.

"Another approach which Wright (2002) has mentioned is that of infusion. In this approach, critical thinking is incorporated into different subject matters in various ways. Existing lesson plans are being restructured in many subject areas to incorporate critical thinking. Means have also been developed so that any subject matter can be given a critical thinking focus. Also, integration of critical thinking into history materials is one of the ways by which infusion was done by the proponents of the method. The disadvantage however is that with the infusion method, the teaching of critical thinking loses sensible sequence or coherence because of a little of everything is taught and therefore the student does not learn how to have a mastery of a particular subject. Also, to be able to work out infusion effectively, there should be an efficient coordination between social studies teachers and teachers of other subject areas so that the basics of critical thinking would be all covered in an intelligent way."

Abstract
In this article the writer analyzes a collaborative perspective on developmental projects that are normatively associated with outsourcing jobs. The writer notes that by understanding the positive aspects of corporate structural development through job outsourcing, one can realize the greater profits gained by having accesses to low wage job markets on the global scale. However, the writer points out that the lack of stability in third world countries that support these types of job markets are often problematic for American corporate expenses for these developmental operations. In essence, the writer maintains that by analyzing the overall scope of global issues with job outsourcing, developmental projects can be viewed through a positive and negative set of arguments detailing the complexity of collaborative job markets.
From the Paper
"In many ways, the American economy and the free trade aspects of job outsourcing play a large part in how large corporations can make a great deal of money on exportable jobs in the technology sectors. The differing aspects of the global market often produce lower wages, which American companies can utilize to their interest. While the job values for American citizens are much higher, which allows companies to seek these lower wages in third world counties or within the sector of the world where America has influence. In essence, these are the major aspects of the global market, which in turn, affect how job outsourcing has become a modern trend in gaining higher profits for companies that are seeking lower wage job markets overseas to counter the high cost of native worker jobs in America and Canada."

"The work of Lehtinen et al (2004) entitled: "Computer Supported Collaborative Learning: A Review" states that: One of the basic requirements for education in the future is to prepare learners for participation in a networked, information society in which knowledge will be the most critical resource for social and economic development. Educational institutions are being forced to find better pedagogical methods to cope with these new challenges. In this development it is expected that computers could play an important role in restructuring teaching and learning processes to be better prepared for future challenges. Computer-supported collaborative learning is one of the most promising ideas to improve teaching and learning with the help of modern information and communication technology."(2004) According to Lehtinen, et al, two traditions of research that have contributed to the development of ideas surrounding computer-supported collaborative learning are those of (1) cooperative learning; and (2) Computer-Supported Collaborative Work The work of Slavin (1997) presents four major theoretical perspectives which explain the achievement effects in the cooperative learning initiative which are those of: (1) motivational; (2) social cohesion; (3) developmental; and (4) cognitive elaboration.

"The work of librarians has dramatically changed in recent decades. Today's librarian is primarily a teacher of information literacy (Eisenberg, 2002), and as such, collaborates with classroom teachers to ensure that they are effective users of ideas and information. As a partner, the school librarian, now entitled "media specialist," joins with teachers and students to help them learn how students to use a wide variety of print, nonprint, and electronic information resources. In many ways, the media specialist helps everyone in the school become more adept at participating in electronic information retrieval. The media specialist is an ambassador and a diplomat, showing everyone in the school how to use the Internet, search engines, and electronic databases. It is very important that the combined staff of teachers and media specialist have common goals, a shared vision and work together in a climate of trust and respect (Muronago & Harada, 1999). The research question to be investigated is whether collaboration of a media specialist with fifth grade teachers in fact increases the information literacy of the students in the classrooms."

Abstract
This paper is a literature review which concentrates on the role of dialogic argumentation and it's paradoxical effects on generating higher levels of collaboration in both CSCL and CSA-based (common service architecture) online environments. The paper explains that dialogic argumentation has proven to be highly effective in teaching students how to be more capable of generating abstract thought and also taking historical constructs into the formation of entirely new reasoning and interpretation frameworks. The paper also points out that the use of scaffolding within CSCL teaching strategies has the potential of strengthening personalized learning strategies in addition to being a catalyst for more students gaining greater understanding of abstract concepts, thereby becoming more critical thinkers as a result. The paper then looks at the role of technology as an enabler of CSCL platforms and its influence on students' performance, motivation, and attitude.

Summary
From the Paper
"In the study the research issues of whether education was significantly contributing to the development of constructed-based learning in students showed that the attainment this level of academic performance was the exception versus the rule. The study began with the concept of students being able to understand the causal factors that lead to a more thorough understanding of history and its concepts. Dialogic approaches to teaching history need to include the how and why things happened in the past, identify what information is reliable, reflect on the information and make sound conclusions (Gagnon, 1989)."

From the Paper
"The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is an example of a system within social care. Its implementation viewed as a tool that promotes service integration and co-ordination across the whole spectrum of children's services. Due to the nature of a Common Assessment any professional working within a children's service can complete it. Such an approach is envisaged to identify required needs earlier and initiate appropriate services. It is also felt to encourage multi-agency working and information sharing which is an essential element within the process. It addresses the needs and strengths of a child, within three domains, parenting capacity, developmental needs and family and environmental factors (Every Child Matters:2006b). "
