Abstract
Web-services have established their role as facilitating tools for interactive and collaborative learning that supports social knowledge construction. In particular, ePortfolios are gaining importance in supporting the learning process and students’ reflection. This motivated us to introduce and investigate an interactive mode in an academic course on Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) that adopted ePortfolio or diary-services, interactive spaces for team projects, and personal as well as interpersonal reflection. The qualitative content analysis of the ePortfolio entries illuminates those aspects in the learning process that were unique due to the computer-mediated interaction offerings in the course.
