Technology-Enhanced Systems and Tools for Collaborative Learning
Scaffolding is a major research theme in CSCL and CSCW research
community. This book presents up-to-date research approaches for
developing technology-enhanced systems and tools to support
functional online collaborative learning and work settings. It
comprises a variety of research topics that span from the study of
frameworks and infrastructures that foster collaborative learning
and work through the application of different methods (distributed
e-learning repositories, content creation and customization, social
networks, collaborative ontologies building, and educational games)
to the use of personalization and adaptation techniques to support
the development of more powerful e-collaboration settings,
including methodologies and tools for analyzing students'
interactions with the aim to increase students' collaborative
behaviors, performance and group organization. Researchers will
find in this book the latest trends in these research topics, which
gives them the opportunity to deepen further on the above issues
and to extend their knowledge to other areas. Academics will find
practical insights on how to use conceptual and experimental
approaches in their daily tasks. Developers from CSCL community can
be inspired and put in practice the proposed models and evaluate
them for the specific purposes of their own work and context.
