Scaffolding students in a collaborative networked learning environment requires different instructional methods than in a traditional home or classroom setting. The goal of this research is to understand computer-mediated collaboration in an instructional setting in order to create an effective computer-mediated collaboration tool. We identify ways to support collaboration by examining the inte...

We represent different ages disciplines hence our focus on intergenerational perspectives transdisciplinary considerations. Our work is intergenerative{that going "between to go beyond" by connecting creative sou...

This paper is the first in a series presenting findings from a yearlong mixed-methods study of the University of There (UOT), a player-run distributed learning community within the online graphical 3D world There.com. UOT is both a large-scale collaborative project and a learning environment within a virtual world originally designed as a social play space. The study employed in-world participa...

Having as an objective to support teaching and learning in introductory programming courses, a didactical framework is proposed for the design of learning activities which may cover both the comprehension and the application level of the learning goals. The framework and the corresponding learning environment engage students actively in the learning process and promote learning through explorat...

Design of collaborative learning (CL) scenarios is a complex task, but necessary if the goal of the collaboration is learning. Creating well-thought-out CL scenarios requires experience and knowledge about different learning/ instructional theories and practices related to collaboration. Inexperienced designers, who may not have all the needed knowledge to formulate pedagogically sound collabor...

When designing a hybrid or a blended learning concept many choices are to be made. Different eLearning arrangements can be combined with different ftf learning arrangements. The blend of learning comprises more than just combining web-based with ftf arrangements. Among other decisions designers of eLearning and blended learning arrangements have to decide how the collaboration of learners is su...

iCamp is an EC-funded research project in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) that aims to support collaboration and social networking across systems, countries and disciplines in higher education. The concept of an iCamp Space will build on existing interfaces and integrate shared community features. Interoperability amongst different open source learning systems and tools is the ke...

Machine learning techniques are usually used in coordination problems and in competitive games but not in collaborative ones. Collaboration and coordination are different, while in coordination the task can not be concluded by a unique agent, in collaboration it can be solved by one agent or by a team, but the use of several agents has to be re ected in the performance of the system. In this wo...
