AIMS

Computer鈥怱upported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is an

interdisciplinary research field that gathers researchers around one

common goal: to facilitate the designing, conduction, and analysis of

collaborative learning (CL) activities where students and instructors

are supported by advanced information and communication technologies.

The use of technology helps to understand how learning emerges in

group settings and how to create effective scenarios that enable

learning through interaction, exploration, discussion, and

collaborative knowledge construction.

The emergence and widespread adoption of the so鈥恈alled Web 2.0

technologies that allow people to collaborate anytime and anywhere at

an unprecedented scale have opened numerous new opportunities for

CSCL. In addition, technologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI)

have reached the level of maturity that allow for them to be

successfully applied for supporting collaborative learning in

innovative and intelligent ways.

To accomplish the development of innovative and intelligent systems

for CSCL, we need to rethink what is considered as state鈥?f鈥恡he鈥恆rt in

AI technologies and push the research trends in CSCL towards the new

generation of technologically sophisticated systems/methods capable of

enhancing/improving CL.

TOPICS

In this special issue, we invite submissions of papers presenting

novel ideas, critiques of existing works, models, practical studies

and experiments with systems based on innovative technologies in CSCL

settings. We especially encourage papers that enhance current CSCL

systems in architectural, technological, and philosophical levels and

stimulate the exploration of new directions of applying AI and Web 2.0

in the context of CSCL research. Topics of interest include, but are

not limited to:

鈥?Architectures, frameworks and systems for CSCL

鈥ools and languages to support CSCL scripts

鈥eb 2.0 technologies applied in CSCL

鈥nnovative ways for analyzing students鈥?interactions

鈥ew approaches for group/individual assessment

鈥ser modeling, personalization and adaptation for CSCL

鈥emantic Web technologies to support CL

鈥everaging Social Semantic Web in CL

鈥ntelligent (authoring/tutoring) systems for CL

鈥gent and multi鈥恆gent technology for CL

鈥ata mining in CSCL context

鈥istributed systems to support CL

鈥ovel user interfaces to support CL
