Introduction to CSCL: Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning

This seminar introduces students to foundational concepts and research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). It is designed for LSTD doctoral students, LDT masters' students, other GSE graduate students and advanced undergraduates inquiring about theory, research and design of CSCL. CSCL is defined as a triadic structure of collaboration mediated by a computational artefact (participant-artifact-participant). CSCL encompasses two individuals performing a task together in a short time, small or class-sized groups, and students following the same course, digitally interacting.
