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…

Wise, Alyssa Friend; Hausknecht, Simone Nicole; Zhao, Yuting – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2014
Theoretical models of collaborative learning through online discussions presuppose that students generally attend to others' posts. However, a succession of studies over the last decade has shown this assumption to be unwarranted. Instead, research indicates that learners attend to others' posts in diverse and particular ways--an…

Ke, Fengfeng; Chavez, Alicia F.; Causarano, Pei-Ni L.; Causarano, Antonio – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2011
This study examined the presence of identity in diverse online courses and explored how presence of identity correlated with content and students' participation in online discussion and hence knowledge building in online educational spaces. Epistemic and participation data regarding online interaction and knowledge building were collected from a…

Nett, Bernhard – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2008
Educators who are prepared to make use of CSCL can find themselves restricted in their space for maneuvering regarding educational innovation. As a supportive context can be very important for them, the study presented here describes and analyzes a related case of a Community of Practice (CoP) among tutors contributing to the development and…

White, Tobin – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2006
This study explores the potential of networked handheld computers to support collaborative problem solving in small groups. Drawing on data from a middle school mathematics classroom equipped with a wireless handheld network, I argue that the sharing of mathematical objects through interactive devices broadens the "bandwidth" of classroom…

Martinez, Alejandra; Dimitriadis, Yannis; Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Rubia-Avi, Bartolome; Jorrin-Abellan, Ivan; Marcos, Jose A. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2006
This paper describes the application of a mixed-evaluation method, published elsewhere, to three different learning scenarios. The method defines how to combine social network analysis with qualitative and quantitative analysis in order to study participatory aspects of learning in CSCL contexts. The three case studies include a course-long,…
