Mine, Ours, and Yours: Whose Engagement and Prior Knowledge Affects Individual Achievement from Online Collaborative Learning?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Slof, Bert; van Leeuwen, Anouschka; Janssen, Jeroen; Kirschner, Paul A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
In computer-supported collaborative learning research, studies examining the combined effects of individual level, group level and within-group differences level measures on individual achievement are scarce. The current study addressed this by examining whether individual, group and within-group differences regarding engagement and prior…

How a Semantic Diagram Tool Influences Transaction Costs during Collaborative Problem Solving
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gu, Xiaoqing; Cai, Huiying – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2019
A semantic diagram tool is proposed in this study in order to structure collaborative problem solving (CPS) based on cognitive load theory (CLT). To investigate its effects on transaction cost and the deepening of user understandings, a comparative quasi-experiment was designed and conducted with 49 participants from a university in East China.…

Information Problem-Solving Skills in Small Virtual Groups and Learning Outcomes
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Garcia, Consuelo; Badia, Antoni – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
This study investigated the frequency of use of information problem-solving (IPS) skills and its relationship with learning outcomes. During the course of the study, 40 teachers carried out a collaborative IPS task in small virtual groups in a 4-week online training course. The status of IPS skills was collected through self-reports handed in over…

"Make It Explicit!": Improving Collaboration through Increase of Script Coercion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Papadopoulos, P. M.; Demetriadis, S. N.; Weinberger, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013
This paper investigates the impact of the proposed "Make It Explicit!" technique on students' learning when participating in scripted collaborative activities. The method posits that when asking students to proactively articulate their own positions explicitly, then improved peer interaction is triggered in a subsequent…

Collaborative Learning with Screen-Based Simulation in Health Care Education: An Empirical Study of Collaborative Patterns and Proficiency Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hall, L. O.; Soderstrom, T.; Ahlqvist, J.; Nilsson, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2011
This article is about collaborative learning with educational computer-assisted simulation (ECAS) in health care education. Previous research on training with a radiological virtual reality simulator has indicated positive effects on learning when compared to a more conventional alternative. Drawing upon the field of Computer-Supported…
