Visualizing Shared-Knowledge Awareness in Collaborative Learning Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
SKA (Shared-Knowledge Awareness) refers to the perception about the shared knowledge students have while working in a collaborative learning context. If we understand the shared comprehension of the problem to be solved as a key part of any collaborative learning activity, SKA will be an indispensable aspect to take into account when designing CSCL systems. In this paper, we propose some design guidelines that can help in the process of graphical user interface design for CSCL tools. We have evaluated some CSCL tools according to the proposed design guidelines depicting how these recommendations materialize in the graphical user interface of some CSCL tools.

Introducing Shared-knowledge Awareness
A type of awareness not previously known is presented. It concerns the understanding a group of people has about their shared knowledge. It is called Shared-Knowledge Awareness (SKA). It is introduced in the context of a collaborative learning scenario. The paper also presents a way of estimating the amount of shared knowledge a group has. A Shared Knowledge Indicator (SKI) is defined for this ...

Awareness is required for supporting all forms of cooperation. In Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), awareness can be used for enhancing collaborative opportunities across physical distances and in computer-mediated environments. Shared Knowledge Awareness (SKA) intends to increase the perception about the shared knowledge students have in a collaborative learning scenario and al...
متن کاملSupporting Innovation by Facilitating Knowledge Exchange in Heterogeneous Expert Communities based on Visualisation and Utilization of Tacit Knowledge
Interactions between heterogeneous communities of experts have been recognized as critical source of knowledge creation and innovation. At the same time, most existing work has largely addressed the development of tools and systems for supporting knowledge sharing in teams or within communities. In this paper we describe the approaches, solutions and prototypes developed in the AWAKE – Networke...
متن کاملIncidence of group awareness information on students' collaborative learning processes
This paper studies how the integration of group awareness tools in the Knowledge Management system called KnowCat, which promotes collaborative knowledge construction, may both foster the students’ perception about the meaningfulness of visualization of group awareness information and promote better collaborative processes as well as enhance better task performance. Forty-seven university stude...
متن کاملSupport of Innovative Processes in a Computer-based Collaborative System
We present an approach to support of innovative knowledge processes that are based on trialogical learning. The key task in trialogical learning is to understand how the “weaker” forms of knowledge are used and made explicit in a meaningful way in collaborative processes. Trialogical learning provides mechanism by which non-explicit knowledge is conceptualized in collaborative systems. Within t...
