Schnaubert, Lenka; Bodemer, Daniel – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2019
Cognitive group awareness tools are a means to guide collaborative learning activities by providing knowledge-related information to the learners. While positive effects of such tools are firmly established, there is no consistency with regard to the awareness information used and a wide range of target concepts exist. However, attempts to compare…
