CSCL scripts: modelling features and potential use
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of collaboration scripts is a new focus of research within the CSCL community. In order to support the design, communication, analysis, simulation and even execution of collaboration scripts, a general specification language to describe collaboration scripts is needed. In this paper, we analyse the suitability and limitations of IMS LD for modelling collaborative learning processes. Based on the analysis, we propose a CSCL scripting language. This paper presents the conceptual framework of this modelling language and the underlying design ideas. Furthermore, two developed CSCL script authoring tools are briefly described. Finally, we discuss potential types of usage and system support possibilities of CSCL scripts.

Socio-Cognitive Scaffolding with Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts: a Meta-Analysis
Scripts for computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) offer socio-cognitive scaffolding for learners to engage in collaborative activities that are considered beneficial for learning. Yet, CSCL scripts are often criticized for hampering naturally emerging collaboration. Research on the effectiveness of CSCL scripts has shown divergent results. This article reports a meta-analysis about t...
متن کاملOrchestrating learning activities on the social and the cognitive level to foster CSCL
CSCL includes a wide range of scenarios that integrate individual and collaborative learning. Scripts have repeatedly proven useful for guiding learners to engage in specific roles and activities in CSCL environments. The effective mechanisms of scripts in stimulating cognitive and collaborative processes, however, are not yet well understood. Moreover, scripts have been shown to be somewhat in...
متن کاملFlexibility in macro-scripts for CSCL
In the field of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), scripts are designed to support collaboration among distant learners or copresent learners whose interactions are (at least partially) mediated by a computer. The rationale of scripts is to structure collaborative learning processes in order to trigger group interactions that may be rare in free collaboration. Fixing the degree o...
متن کاملRepresenting CSCL macro-scripts using IMS LD: lessons learned
CSCL (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) macro-scripts are machine-readable collaboration scripts that structure the activities making up a learning process. The support of IMS Learning Design (LD) specification to implement these scripts is an unsolved research question marked by controversy. This paper is provides a systematic analysis to answer this question. With this purpose, we po...
متن کاملMonitoring Pattern-Based CSCL Scripts: A Case Study
Two strategies have been proposed in CSCL to foster effective collaboration: structuring the learning scenario by means of collaboration scripts and monitoring interactions among participants in order to detect and regulate potential deviations from the initial plan. In order to help teachers in this endeavor, we propose to combine these two approaches by means of a process where design takes i...
