Identifying collaboration patterns in collaborative telelearning scenarios

Actor Interdependence in Collaborative Tele learning

This paper presents a model of collaborative telelearning and describes how coordination theory has provided a framework for the analysis of actor (inter)dependencies in this scenario. The model is intended to inform the instructional design of learning scenarios, the technological design of the telelearning environment, and the design of intelligent agents to mediate or to support the mediatio...

Identifying Coordination Agents for Collaborative Telelearning

This paper deals with identifying roles for coordination agents in a future collaborative telelearning environment. The current practice of students participating in a netbased simulation marketing game on-campus, is studied with an eye on designing a future collaborative telelearning environment where this same net-based simulation game will be central. The work described in this paper is situ...

Evaluating the Organising of a Collaborative Telelearning Scenario from an Instructor Perspective an Activity Theoretical Approach

Web-based Support fo the Instructional Engineering of E-learning Systems

The rapid evolution of e-learning models increases the number of decisions that have to be made when developing web-based learning systems. ADISA is a web-based system for a project team designing a e-learning system while working on the web. It is based on the MISA method that defines 35 main tasks through which the user produces the design specifications of a learning system, describing knowl...

Resources for coordination in collaborative telelearning

ABSTRACT We have analyzed data from a field study in collaborative telelearning. The participants were students from three educational institutions in Norway. The goal of the study was to investigate how the students used a set of groupware tools to coordinate learning activities. We have used concepts from collaborative telelearning (Bourdeau & Wasson, 1997) and coordination mechanisms (Schmid...
