Technology-Enhanced platforms and instruments for Collaborative studying Scaffolding is a huge examine subject matter in CSCL and CSCW learn neighborhood. This booklet provides up to date learn ways for constructing technology-enhanced structures and instruments to help useful on-line collaborative studying and paintings settings. It contains various examine subject matters that span from the learn of frameworks and infrastructures that foster collaborative studying and paintings in the course of the program of other tools (distributed e-learning repositories, content material construction and customization, social networks, collaborative ontologies construction, and academic video games) to using personalization and version innovations to aid the improvement of extra strong e-collaboration settings, together with methodologies and instruments for reading scholars' interactions with the purpose to extend scholars' collaborative behaviors, functionality and team association. Researchers will locate during this e-book the newest developments in those learn themes, which supplies them the chance to deepen additional at the above concerns and to increase their wisdom to different parts. lecturers will locate functional insights on how you can use conceptual and experimental ways of their day-by-day initiatives. builders from CSCL group could be encouraged and installed perform the proposed versions and review them for the categorical reasons in their personal paintings and context.
