Bravo, Javier; García-Magariño, Iván – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2015
Distance education started being limited in comparison to traditional education. Distance teachers and educational organizations have overcome most of these limits, but some other limits still remain as challenges. One of these challenges is to collaboratively learn concepts in an immersive way, similarly to the education "in situ".…

Avouris, N.; Fiotakis, G.; Kahrimanis, G.; Margaritis, M.; Komis, V. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2007
In this article, we discuss key requirements for collecting behavioural data concerning technology-supported collaborative learning activities. It is argued that the common practice of analysis of computer generated log files of user interactions with software tools is not enough for building a thorough view of the activity. Instead, more…

Mapping Online Discussions with Lexical Scores.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Graddy, Duane B. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2003
Examines online discussions using lexical scoring techniques. Suggests that online conversations become more sophisticated as learners interact with each other over the duration of a course, that collaboration among learners fosters the social construction of knowledge and that evidence of such knowledge-building activities is embodied in the tone…

Thomas, W. Randall; Macgregor, S. Kim – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2005
The goal of this study was to gain insights into the interactions that occur in online communications in a project-based learning activity implemented in an undergraduate course. A multi-case study was conducted of six collaborative groups, focusing on the types and frequencies of interactions that occurred within each group and the perceptions…

Collaborative Construction of Conceptual Understanding: Interaction Processes and Learning Outcomes Emerging from a Concept Mapping and a Poster Task.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Van Boxtel, Carla; Van Der Linden, Jos; Kanselaar, Gellof – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1997
Reports results from an experiment in which interaction processes and learning outcomes of dyads working on different cooperative tasks within the domain of electricity were compared; a concept mapping task was compared with a poster task. Subjects were 40 students ages 16-17 years old. Students working on a concept map talked more intensively…

Individual Students' Interpretations of Their Contribution to the Computer-Mediated Discussions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Leinonen, Piritta; Jarvela, Sanna; Lipponen, Lasse – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2003
Investigates students' own interpretations of their contribution to computer-mediated discussions. Subjects were 20 students between the ages of 15 and 16, who participated in computer supported collaborative learning inquiry in literature. Results show how individual students interpret their contribution to the collaborative knowledge…
