Ð Collaborative learning of visual information with computers can be particularly beneficial for acquiring complex and abstract knowledge. This article describes a computer-supported collaborative visual learning environment called TurtleGraph that was designed to assist learners in capturing the concept of recursion as well as recursive programming skills. In this distributed learning environment, students were requested to collaborate with their partners to write LISP-LOGO recursive programs in order to solve geometric pattern drawing problems.
