Usability, Sociability, and Learnability: A CSCL Design Evaluation Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a three component CSCL design evaluation framework of usability, sociability, and learnability. Usability refers to the ease of use and subjective learner satisfaction with CSCL systems. Sociability refers to the CSCL system support for social interactional processes such as conversation, cooperation, deliberation, and/or argumentation. Learnability refers to the evaluation of CSCL systems in terms of student learning processes and products. We apply this CSCL system design evaluation framework to results from a prior experimental study of three different CSCL design environments for asynchronous computer supported collaborative problem solving. Our results suggest a ―preference vs. performance paradox‖ in CSCL across the usability, sociability, and learnability components of the design evaluation framework.

Operating a website with one hand on a touchscreen mobile phone remains a challenging task: solutions to adapt websites for mobile users do not address the ergonomic peculiarities of one-handed operation. We present the design and evaluation of the One Hand Wonder (OHW) – an easily-adaptable cross-platform JavaScript framework to support one-handed website navigation on touchscreen smartphones....
متن کاملDetermining Sociability, Social Space, and Social Presence in (A)synchronous Collaborative Groups
The effectiveness of group learning in asynchronous distributed learning groups depends on the social interaction that takes place. This social interaction affects both cognitive and socioemotional processes that take place during learning, group forming, establishment of group structures, and group dynamics. Though now known to be important, this aspect is often ignored, denied or forgotten by...

Many previous studies have emphasized the role of the sociability of the computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments on learning achievements. Also, recent studies have reported that other than on-task interaction, students have considerable off-task interactions in CSCL environments. Yet, more studies are needed to clarify the off-task aspect of social interactions in CSCL an...
