This paper reports on the development of an asynchronous learning environment for the teaching of introductory macroeconomics to approximately 200 distance education students in 1999. The research supports evidence in the current literature that computer mediated communication and in particular, collaborative learning, can make a positive difference to the educational experience of some student...

Self-regulated learning is an important means of supporting students’ self-awareness and self-regulation level so as to enhance their motivation and engagement. Interaction Analysis (IA) contributes to this end, and its use in studying learning dynamics involved in asynchronous Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) activities has rightfully increased in recent years. This paper prese...

The Computer Supported Collaborative Work research community has identified that the technology used to support distributed teams of researchers, such as email, instant messaging, and conferencing environments, are not enough. Building from a list of areas where it is believed technology can help support distributed teams, we have divided our efforts into support of asynchronous and synchronous...

Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) incorporates collaborative learning activities and communication between participants and among groups via networked computers, where interactions can be synchronous or asynchronous (Naidu & Ja ̈rvela, 2006). The ubiquitous characteristic of CSCL environments, combined with their interactive group learning capabilities is becoming more and more im...

Since the first study on computer-mediated communication tools in support of language learning was published 1992, asynchronous and synchronous have been widely adopted; however, few reviews conducted to explore research status this field. As COVID-19 has increased use online education, need understand how are being used education grown. In bibliometric analysis, we reviewed (ASOLL) by analyzin...

Concurrency control is a key issue in distributed systems. A number of techniques have been devised to tackle the issue, but these techniques are generally unsuitable to be used in collaborative systems, which have the special requirements of consistency maintenance, responsiveness, and unconstrained interaction. OT (Operational Transformation) is an optimistic concurrency control technique ori...

This article is concerned with the social organization of mediation in learning environments. It seeks to further articulate the sociocultural notion of mediation in sociointeractional terms, combining insights from the sociocultural approach to cognition and the microinteractionist, especially ethnomethodological approach to social activities.Amicroanalysisofmediation incommunicative2nd-langua...

This paper reports the goals, procedures and recent activities of the Smartphone Ensemble, an academic group of musicians and designers exploring mobile phones social mediation in musical contexts. The SE was created in the Design and Creation program at the Caldas University in Manizales, Colombia and includes six regular members. The group intends to enhance links among musicians, and between...
