Beschreibung
This book highlights the importance of design in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) by proposing data-driven design and assessment. It addresses data-driven design, which focuses on the processing of data and on improving design quality based on the results of analysis, in three main sections. The first section explains how to design collaborative learning activities based on data-driven design approaches, while the second shares illustrative examples of computer-supported collaborative learning activities. In turn, the third and last section demonstrates how to evaluate the consistency between design and implementation using design-centered research. The book features several examples of innovative data-driven design approaches to optimizing collaborative learning activities; highlights innovative CSCL activities in authentic learning environments; demonstrates how learning analytics can be used to optimize CSCL design; and discusses the design-centered research approach to evaluating the consistency between design and implementation in CSCL. Given its scope, it will be of interest to a broad readership including researchers, educators, practitioners, and students in the field of collaborative learning, as well as the rapidly growing community of people who are interested in optimizing learning performance with CSCL.
