abstract |
Online learning environments offer new opportunities for learning and over the last
decade or so a variety of online learning environments have been developed by researchers
to facilitate collaborative learning among students. In this paper we will present
a case study of a successful collaborative learning design. This involves a near synchronous
online seminar where students work in small groups to produce a report that examines
media coverage of controversial science, using archives of television news reports.
We will analyze the activity’s task design features by employing a framework of collaboration
enabling design approach proposed by Kirschner et al (2004). We will start with an
analysis of the collaborative processes and interaction among participants in this
online activity. Then we will examine the features of the task used in this learning
environment with respect to the interaction design ideas proposed by Kirschner et
al. They suggest that the use of appropriately designed and implemented educational,
social and technological affordances is the foundation for stimulating, motivating
and maintaining collaboration among learners. We use the framework to identify factors
contributing to the success of the activity. |
