Furberg, Anniken; Kluge, Anders; Ludvigsen, Sten – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2013
This paper reports on a study of students' conceptual sensemaking with science diagrams within a computer-based learning environment aimed at supporting collaborative learning. Through the microanalysis of students' interactions in a project about energy and heat transfer, we demonstrate "how" representations become productive social and cognitive…

Zemel, Alan; Koschmann, Timothy – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2013
In this paper we examine how two groups of middle school students arrive at shared understandings of and solutions to mathematical problems. Our data consists of logs of student participation in the Virtual Math Teams (VMT) system as they work on math problems. The project supports interaction both through chat and through a virtual whiteboard. We…

Kershner, Ruth; Mercer, Neil; Warwick, Paul; Kleine Staarman, Judith – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) have been widely introduced to English primary schools (5-11 years) in the last decade and this has generated much research interest. In the past, research has focused on IWB-use in teacher-led sessions, attending particularly to the nature of teacher-pupil interaction at the IWB and the apparent motivational…

Cakir, Murat Perit; Zemel, Alan; Stahl, Gerry – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2009
In order to collaborate effectively in group discourse on a topic like mathematical patterns, group participants must organize their activities in ways that share the significance of their utterances, inscriptions, and behaviors. Here, we report the results of a ethnomethodological case study of collaborative math problem-solving activities…

Lund, Kristine; Molinari, Gaelle; Sejourne, Arnauld; Baker, Michael – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
The objective of the research presented here was to study the influence of two types of instruction for using an argumentation diagram during pedagogical debates over the Internet. In particular, we studied how using an argumentation diagram as a medium of debate compared to using an argumentation diagram as a way of representing a debate. Two…

Muller Mirza, Nathalie; Tartas, Valerie; Perret-Clermont, Anne-Nelly; de Pietro, Jean-Francois – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
ICT tools have been developed to facilitate web-based learning through and learning about argumentation. In this paper we will present an example of a learning activity mediated by Digalo--software for knowledge sharing through visually supported discussion--developed in a university setting. Our aim is to examine, in particular, socio-cognitive…

Nussbaum, E. Michael; Winsor, Denise L.; Aqui, Yvette M.; Poliquin, Anne M. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
We examine the effect of online Argumentation Vee Diagrams (AVDs) on the quality of students' argumentation during asynchronous, online discussions. With AVDs, students develop arguments on both sides of a controversial issue and then develop an integrated, overall final conclusion. In this study, students used AVDs individually before composing…
