Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Morgan M. Fong; David DeLiema; Virginia J. Flood; Oia Walker-van Aalst – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2025
Working solutions to problems are not definitive end points. As a result, code that is technically correct can still be treated as needing revising -- a practice in computer programming known as refactoring. We document how late elementary to middle school students and their undergraduate instructors weigh the possibility of refactoring working…

Sini Davies; Pirita Seitamaa-Hakkarainen; Kai Hakkarainen – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2024
This study analyzed collaborative invention projects by teams of lower-secondary (13-14-year-old) Finnish students. In invention projects, student teams design and make materially embodied collaborative inventions using traditional and digital fabrication technologies. This investigation focused on the student teams' knowledge creation processes…

Psathas, Georgios; Tegos, Stergios; Demetriadis, Stavros N.; Tsiatsos, Thrasyvoulos – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2023
Despite their potential to deliver a high-quality learning experience, massive open online courses (MOOCs) pose several issues, such as high dropout rates, difficulties in collaboration between students, low teaching involvement, and limited teacher-student interaction. Most of these issues can be attributed to the large number, diversity, and…

Hsu, Ting-Chia; Abelson, Hal; Patton, Evan; Chen, Shih-Chu; Chang, Hsuan-Ning – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2021
In order to promote the practice of co-creation, a real-time collaboration (RTC) version of the popular block-based programming (BBP) learning environment, MIT App Inventor (MAI), was proposed and implemented. RTC overcomes challenges related to non-collocated group work, thus lowering barriers to cross-region and multi-user collaborative software…
