Computer-supported collaboration in a scripted 3-D game environment

January 2005

The particular focus of this paper is on scripting collaboration in a 3-D virtual game environment intended to make learning more effective, but also take into account the risk of over-scripting learning. The empirical experiment eScape, which encourages learners to solve problems collaboratively, is also presented. This study attempts to find out whether the features of 3-D games can be used to ... [Show full abstract] create meaningful scripted collaborative learning environments. The results indicated that scripting persuaded student teams to enter into collaboration, but the actual processes varied.

Cross-border collaborative learning in the professional development of teachers: Case study -online...

October 2015

The goal of this chapter is to present a theoretical and practical frame for PD of teachers at the digital age. The main question we ask is how to develop life competencies and skills of teachers in order to change their learning and teaching in a way that enables school graduates to acquire relevant skills for life. The chapter inquires this issue by a qualitative methodology case study. The ... [Show full abstract] case is an online course for teachers' professional development. The chapter presents evidence from reflective diaries, interviews and scripts of students' and teachers' discussions, focusing on identification of the effects of the course's learning environments on the development of the teachers' self determination learning and skills. The findings indicate the useful effects of the combination between LMS environments and social media, such as Web 2.0 tools. The conclusions suggest new directions for teachers' professional development that encourage the design of a flexible fractal net which enable fostering teachers' leadership and innovation.

A Framework for Small Group Support in Online Collaborative Learning - Combining Collaboration Scrip...

January 2017

Alexandra Lazareva

Many learners experience difficulties engaging in collaborative learning activities online. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) scripts have been implemented to support online learners. Collaboration scripts have shown much potential in facilitating students’ general collaboration skills. However, reported effects of collaboration scripts on domain-specific knowledge acquisition have ... [Show full abstract] been less positive. In this paper, I suggest an alternative framework for supporting CSCL learners by combining collaboration scripting and online tutoring. While collaboration scripts can facilitate the acquisition of general collaboration skills, the online tutor is capable of monitoring and assessing small groups’ progress and providing them with suitable content-specific prompts. The role of the online tutor is also important in terms of establishing social presence in the online learning environment. In order to develop the conceptual framework, I present experiences from an online collaborative learning course. I support the discussion by student insights collected through surveys and a focus group interview.

The Remote Control Approach – How to Apply Scaffolds to Existing Collaborative Learning Environments

September 2006

In this paper we present an architecture for the integration of tutoring and process scaffolds into existing collaborative applications. The architecture allows to combine existing research results concerning collaborative processes and their formalization, and existing and tested collaborative learning environments. The architecture allows to control the learning environments either by a human ... [Show full abstract] or a pedagogic agent. Both types of tutors are using the same set of primitives - either via an intu- itive user interface or a slim Java interface. To prove the soundness of the architecture an example is given using IMS LD collaboration scripts with Coppercore as a workflow engine controlling the Cool Modes envi- ronment. A description of the possible applications of the architecture in intelligent tutoring systems gives an insight into the opportunities opened by such a flexible approach. The paper closes with an outlook concerning the use of the architecture with more and different learning systems and process control engines.

The impact of role assignment as scripting tool on knowledge construction in asynchronous discussion...

January 2005

The present paper describes the impact of learning in asynchronous discussion groups on students' levels of knowledge construction. Multilevel analyses were applied to uncover the influence of student, group, and task variables and the specific impact of the assignment of roles. Results indicate that students' attitude towards the learning environment and their engagement in the discussion group ... [Show full abstract] are significant predictors. No significant overall differences in students' mean levels of knowledge construction between the role and no role condition were observed. However, additional analyses revealed (1) that students in the role condition more often reached the highest level; and (2) that assigning students the role of summarizer resulted in significantly higher levels of knowledge construction.

This paper describes a social-affective animated agent that is able to interact with students in a learning environment for algorithms. The agent monitors the interaction with the user and employs the information collected to make personalized recommendations of contents. In addition, the agent is capable of identifying other students that may act as tutors in certain topics, and suggests the ...

Through these recommendations, the agent motivates group formation and promotes collaborative learning.

How to use a Wiki in education:'Wiki based effective constructive learning'

August 2006

Michele Notari

Learning effectiveness depends on a large range of parameters. Learners" activity has an important impact on long-term learning and comprehension of difficult concepts [1]. Collaboration is also an important parameter for learning efficiency. Collaboration does not work per se [2]; an appropriate Script is a capital factor for succeeding. We will describe our engagement in scripting advises based ... [Show full abstract] on the use of a Wiki. The creation of a hypertext is an integrative part of our collaborative script. A Wiki is a powerful tool for constructivist learning environments because it facilitates collaboration. The workshop aims to describe approaches to improve collaborative learning. We will give advice how to conduct a learning session with a Wiki and an appropriate script.

Nikolaos Pellas

Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) has proved to be one of the reliable contemporary approaches to education that is based on the fundamental principles of collaborative learning procedures between users (instructor and students) in electronic learning environments or Virtual Worlds (VWs). This approach to education has resulted in many considerable changes in the traditional ... [Show full abstract] “status quo” of e-Education. This chapter presents a literature review of major revamped principles of Learning Theories and Models that occurred in the early 21st century and reinforced the vast majority of CSCL pursuits and capabilities. It adopts Stahl's (2000) theoretical model to articulate a novel framework for e-Education in VWs. The meaning and contribution of this approach to education will be more understandable through the analysis of collaborative learning climate conditions in the 3D technologically advanced environments based on the interests, demands, and needs of trained users.

Learning to collaborate: Designing collaboration in a 3-D game environment

March 2006 · The Internet and Higher Education

To respond to learning needs, Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) must provide instructional support. The particular focus of this paper is on designing collaboration in a 3-D virtual game environment intended to make learning more effective by promoting student opportunities for interaction. The empirical experiment eScape, which encourages learners to solve problems ... [Show full abstract] collaboratively, is also presented. eScape is a design experiment, comprising both the process of designing a collaborative game environment and an empirical study where data is collected using a variety of methods and analysed, after which the findings and conclusions serve as a basis for further design work. By designing and testing game-players' activities, this study attempted to find out whether the characteristic features of 3-D games can be used to create meaningful virtual collaborative learning environments. The results revealed that the scripted game persuaded student teams to enter into collaboration, but the actual processes varied.
