An Application Framework for Collaborative Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the design of a new application framework for collaborative learning. The framework guides teachers in implementing online activities based on well-known pedagogical techniques, to accomplish their educational objectives within a certain educational setting, and simplifies the development of collaboration tools needed to carry out those techniques. There are common tasks across various techniques and our framework organizes them in a layer of abstraction. The framework model has four abstraction layers: Pedagogical Models, Pedagogical Techniques, Collaboration Tasks Patterns, and CSCL Tools. By using this framework, developers will place the control of designing and implementing the pedagogical techniques in the teacher’s hand rather than in the software designer’s.
