Abstract

Distributed learning environments such as groupware give two or more users the means for working together remotely on a shared task. This activity is more than the sum of single users working on their own to solve the same task. Although most people will agree about this, there is neither agreement nor much discussion in the literature on how coordination and collaboration skill should be distributed between users and computer tools. We present a new approach that uses a process model adapted from Activity theory to guide our efforts. The model outlines steps towards capturing crystallised experience.

Conceptual and socio-cognitive support for collaborative learning in videoconferencing environments

Studies have shown that videoconferencing is an effective medium for facilitating communication between parties who are separated by distance, particularly when learners are engaged in complex collaborative learning tasks. However, as in face-to-face ...
Supporting orchestration of CSCL scenarios in web-based Distributed Learning Environments

The orchestration of technology-enhanced learning situations (especially collaborative ones), that involve both Virtual Learning Environments and Web 2.0 tools (what some authors call Distributed Learning Environments, or DLEs) is often complex and ...
Enabling Teachers to Deploy CSCL Designs across Distributed Learning Environments

Transforming teachers' pedagogical ideas into ICT infrastructures ready for the enactment of such ideas is a complex process, especially in the case of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). In higher education, the current trend of using ...
