Applying Collaborative Cognitive Load Theory to Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning: Towards a Research Agenda
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Janssen, Jeroen; Kirschner, Paul A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
Research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has traditionally investigated how student-, group-, task-, and technological characteristics affect the processes and outcomes of collaboration. On the other hand, cognitive load theory has traditionally been used to study individual learning processes and to investigate instructional…

Conceptualizing Learner Support Space.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cates, Ward Mitchell; Bruce, Ronald R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2000
Discussion of computer-based online help systems for instructional software focuses on three types of learner support: for optimizing use of a computer program; for learning content; and for monitoring and enhancing learning. Proposes a multi-dimensional model of learner-support space defined by the intrusiveness of the delivery methods and…
