Transparent latecomer support for web-based collaborative learning environments

چکیده
In this paper we examine the problems of synchronous collaboration of users in web-based learning environments. It is a strong challenge to develop efficient synchronous groupware systems which provide transparent collaboration of existing applications whereas participants may start at different points in time. Existing collaboration systems either provide transparency or the accommodation of latecomers. We developed a transparent support for accommodating latecomers in collaborative environments which may be integrated in any Java-based system on the web.

Transparent Latecomer Support for Synchronous Groupware
In a collaborative session users may join and leave. A user who joins a session is called a latecomer. A latecomer needs the current state of the collaborative session to participate in the session. There exist different approaches to accommodate a latecomer. The runtime system can, e.g., transfer the state to the latecomer or replay how the session state was reached. If the state is maintained...
متن کاملPedagogical Principles of the Theories of Interaction in Distance Learning: The Study of Interaction Anderson Model in Web-based Environments
Background: Interaction is considered a necessary, and integral part in all forms of distance learning and web -based learning environments. That how much technologies can support and help interactions is one of the most important issues that should be considered in the web-based environment. These interactions seek to engage students with other students, teachers and also non-human contex...
متن کاملLatecomer Support and Client Synchronization for Synchronous Multimedia Collaborative Environments
This paper presents a software framework designed to provide transparent latecomer support and session recorder to a synchronous collaboration environment written in Java. The objective of this work is to develop a generic framework that can be easily integrated into other similar systems. The system supports not only Java applications and applets, but also Java Media Framework player allowing ...
متن کاملTransparency as a catalyst for interaction and participation in open learning environments
This paper argues that transparency promotes interactivity and participation in collaborative Web 2.0 learning environments. Teaching with transparency requires a learner–centered pedagogy for research, writing, and the production of new knowledge in open communities. Transparency is a catalyst for interaction and participation that supports open learning in multiple disciplines and institution...
متن کاملDesigning Web 2.0 Collaboration Tools to Support Project-Based Learning: An Activity-Oriented Approach
Collaborative learning involves small groups of students working together to solve problems for the purpose of learning. There are a large number of researches that focus on the technical aspects of computer-mediated environments for collaborative learning. Very few studies have examined the design of Web 2.0 technologies to support collaborative learning using an activity-oriented approach. In...
