This article describes the experience of using technology to facilitate collaborative research and writing. Initially, two faculty members at Indiana University and a research associate used a group decision support system (GDSS) called GroupSystemsT to design an active learning experience for undergraduate nursing students. In addition, GroupSystems was used to gather qualitative data from student participants. The authors then explored how tools within GroupSystems might support qualitative data analysis (QDA) and collaborative writing. Reflecting on the value of this technology and its potential applications, the authors conclude that the technology enhances the process of QDA but is not sufficient to achieve final negotiation and articulation of emergent themes. In addition, the authors suggest that use of the technology for collaborative writing challenges the conventional manner of assigning authorship.
