Welcome to the CSCL SIG

In Kaleidoscope

The Computer Support for Collaborative Learning Special Interest Group recognises the multidisciplinary nature of the field of CSCL including the design of learning environments, the design and implementation of technological artefacts, and methodologies and theoretical frameworks for evaluation of learning activities. The CSCL SIG pulls together individual Kaleidoscope researchers with diverse interests to focus on understanding collaborative learning in different types for environments. The theoretical framing for understanding the relation between learning, artefacts and tasks will be various traditions in the socio-cultural approach, the computational approach and approaches related to language science.

During the 4 year Kaleidoscope period, the CSCL SIG has as its primary goal to structure the European Research Area of Computer Support for Collaborative Learning and to ensure its sustainability.
