Intelligent Collaborative e-Learning Systems and Applications is a major research theme in CSCL and CSCW research community. It comprises a variety of research topics that focus on developing systems
Theoretically, the term "script" appears to be rather ill-defined.This book clarifies the use of the term "script" in education. It approaches the term from at least three perspectives: cognitive psyc
Approximately 60 papers from the July 2003 conference in Bergen, Norway discuss topics like: knowledge building; collaborative learning; distance learning; software agents in CSCL environments; shared
This book reports the results of a three-year research program funded by the National Science Foundation which targeted students and teachers from four Detroit high schools in order for them to learn,
This book reveals how advances in computer science and human-computer interaction impact Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) environments. The underlying theme of the contributions is the
The field of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) has traditionally focused on virtual learning environments and has somewhat neglected the physical environments in which students interac
The book investigates the Reading Circles (RCs) learning opportunity as a mode of autonomous learning in the Middle East tertiary education context. This investigation presents learners’ positive perc
This book introduces readers to co-creation --- a complex, value-based, context-driven and collaborative effort to develop new paradigms, products and services to satisfy human wants. Co-creation is b
Developed in the context of health sciences education in the late 1960s, problem-based learning (PBL) is now widely deployed as an education methodology. Its problem-solving, collaborative, student-ce
The concept of mentoring has undergone a major shift from guide/guided or instructor/protege arrangements toward more reciprocal, collaborative models. Informed by a robust theoretical framework and r
