Incorporating non-verbal data streams is essential to understanding the dynamics of interaction within collaborative learning environments in which a variety of verbal and non-verbal modes of communication intersect. However, the complexity of non-verbal data -- especially gathered in the wild from collaborative learning contexts -- demands…

Background: Maintaining cohesion is critical for teams to achieve shared goals and performance outcomes within a work-integrated learning (WIL) environment. Cohesion is an emergent state that develops over time, representing the synchrony of different behavioural interactions. Cohesive teams will exhibit such phenomena by their temporal…

This article introduces an ontology-based framework for group assessment analytics that investigates the impact of intra-group interactions on group performance within the context of project-based collaborative learning (PBCL). Additionally, it aims to predict learners' performance based on these interactions. The study involved 312 first-degree…

Online collaborative learning has been an effective pedagogy in the field of education. However, productive collaborative learning cannot occur spontaneously. Learners often have difficulties in collaborative knowledge building, group performance, coregulated behaviors, learning engagement, and social interaction. To promote productive…

As Project-Based Learning (PjBL) becomes a cornerstone of modern education, effective support and analysis tools are crucial for enhancing collaborative learning experiences and achieving educational goals. However, challenges such as managing overload related to the rigor and demands of project-based activities (e.g., meetings, writing reports,…

Group formation is a critical factor which influences collaborative processes and performances in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). Automatic grouping has been widely used to generate groups with heterogeneous attributes and to maximize the diversity of students' characteristics within a group. But there are two dominant challenges…

Collaboration has garnered global attention as an important skill for the 21st century. While researchers have been doing work on collaboration for nearly a century, many of the questions that the field is investigating overlook the need for students to learn how to read and respond to different collaborative settings. Existing research focuses on…

The learning analytics dashboard (LAD) has been recognised as a useful tool to facilitate teachers' diagnosis and intervention in collaborative learning. However, little empirical evidence has been reported concerning the effects of LAD on teachers in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the…

Collaborative problem solving behaviors are difficult to identify and foster due to their amorphous and dynamic nature. In this paper, we investigate the value of considering early class period behaviors, based on small group development theory, for building predictive machine learning models of collaborative behaviors during problem solving. Over…

This study investigated the effects of corrective feedback (CF) during in-class computer-mediated collaborative writing on grammatical accuracy in a new piece of individual writing. Forty-eight ESL students at an American university worked on two computer-mediated animation description tasks in pairs. The experimental group received indirect CF on…
