Abstract

Research suggests that collaborative classroom activities offer many benefits for learning. To collaborate successfully, students need adequate tools to share ideas and resources, develop and support arguments, and cooperate to solve problems. Handheld computers are emerging as a flexible and portable solution that provides students with "ready to hand" support to engage in collaborative activities anytime, anywhere. Handhelds can also be coordinated with desktops to support small group collaboration when larger workspaces are needed.

In order to support interaction among students during learning activities, systems for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL systems) are increasingly used. This paper gives an overview of existing CSCL systems with emphasis on the support ...
Interaction and Collaboration Using an Intelligent Collaborative Learning Environment

The goal of this research is to design and prototype an intelligent collaborative learning environment. Within this environment, we study synchronous interaction among group members (students) working on a problem/project. Students use an Intelligent ...
Computer supported collaborative learning using wirelessly interconnected handheld computers

Collaborative learning is widely used in elementary classrooms. However, when working without technological support, some problems can be detected. We describe how weaknesses in coordination, communication, organization of materials, negotiation, ...
