Although most online learning environments are predominately text based, researchers have argued that representational support for the conceptual structure of a problem would address problems of coherence and convergence that have been shown to be associated with threaded discussions and more effectively support collaborative knowledge construction.
The final objective of the study was to show that supraregional collaborative benchmarking would be associated with continual, marked improvement in the quality of multidisciplinary BC care even during the first five-year period from 2003 to 2007.
One of the key findings of these studies was that Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles and learning collaboratives appeared to be associated with the development of contextually relevant interventions.
This collaborative process of creating shared fictional worlds may be associated with a broader burgeoning "geek" culture in developed societies that is in turn associated with prolonged education, high uptake of information technology and increased leisure time.
Use of a weaning protocol was associated with increased collaborative decision making for determining weaning (1.8 (1.0 to 3.3)) and extubation readiness (1.9 (1.2 to 3.0)), and weaning method (1.8 (1.1 to 3.0).

A collaborative nurse work environment is associated with ICU quality, yet collaborative interaction is difficult to measure.
The open mode of thinking, acting and being has been associated with liberating, participatory and collaborative arrangements that have prompted us to redefine how research, science, innovation and citizenship are to be conceived.
Edenberg et al. [ 5] reported that sixteen ADH4 polymorphisms (including rs2226896) were associated with AD in an independent Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA) sample of pedigrees.
Until now, no empirical studies were found comparing different collaboratives to investigate to what extent programme managers meet these challenges in creating effectiveness and how this is associated with variations in success of collaboratives.
