Cloud-based collaborative learning environments are used in many companies today. The problem of this study was to identify if cloud-based collaborative learning environments were actually being used in the business world and what behavioral change, if any, comes about due to their use. The objectives of this study were to: 1.) Study the use of cloud-based collaborative environments in the business world. 2.) Investigate how the editing capabilities are used. 3) Examine whether or not the collaborative systems in place have any impact on user behavior in the company. To complete this study, both qualitative and quantitative measures were utilized to gather data. Surveys, as well as interviews, were the methods used in conjunction with a company that currently uses a cloud-based collaborative system in the workplace. This study brings some new data and issues to light in how these new collaborative cloud-based systems are used in the business environment, but it is recommended that further research be continued to get a different perspective on how other companies use these technologies.
