We present a critical perspective on the current state of research educational dialogues, within and without Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning environments, in order to propose perspectives intersection these two domains. Our main proposal is that integrate different types human or machine analyzed data over timescales, it necessary do so theorization object study its units analysis. St...

Today, learners on the move are typically disconnected from their learning environment and from other learning partners. With the advances in mobile communication, we envision distributed and mobile learners to be seamlessly connected to learning sessions and learning content. Connection should be supported in an ad-hoc fashion, if applicable, and during mobility [1]. Mobile learners are usuall...

Collaborative Learning is an effective activity-based, constructivism-based and experience-based learning method. Recently, various computer and network supported educational environments are incorporating collaborative learning activities. In order to design, develop and select effective collaborative learning systems it is necessary to consider quality requirements. This paper presents the CL...

This paper presents our research efforts towards enabling the use of grid infrastructures for supporting Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) applications developed according to the principles of ComponentBased Software Engineering (CBSE). An illustrative example of a gridsupported component-based collaborative learning application is presented and discussed. This discussion leads t...

Spontaneous Group Learning is a concept to form and facilitate face-to-face, ad-hoc learning groups in collaborative settings. We show how to use Ambient Intelligence to identify, support, and initiate group processes. Learners’ positions are determined by widely used technologies, e.g., Bluetooth and WLAN. As a second step, learners’ positions, tasks, and interests are visualized. Finally, a g...

The emerging multidisciplinary field of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has the potential to address several theoretical, political, and praxis issues within academic librarianship. Conversely, librarians are uniquely situated to contribute to the ongoing development of CSCL, and the library is an ideal “place” for the development, implementation, and evaluation of collaborativ...
