Zhang, Jingjing; Skryabin, Maxim; Song, Xiongwei – Distance Education, 2016
This study attempts to make inferences about the mechanisms that drive network change over time. It adopts simulation investigation for empirical network analysis to examine the patterns and evolution of relationships formed in the context of a massive open online course (MOOC) discussion forum. Four network effects--"homophily,"…

Park, Hyungsung; Seo, Sumin – Interactive Learning Environments, 2013
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of collaborative activities on group identity in a virtual world such as "Second Life." To achieve this purpose, this study adopted events that promoted participants' interactions using tools inherent in "Second Life." The interactive tools given to the control group in this…

Elements of Collaborative Discussion and Shared Problem Solving in a Voice-Enhanced Multiplayer Game
Bluemink, Johanna; Jarvela, Sanna – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2011
This study focuses on investigating the nature of small-group collaborative interaction in a voice-enhanced multiplayer game called "eScape". The aim was to analyse the elements of groups' collaborative discussion and to explore the nature of the players' shared problem solving activity during the solution critical moments in the game. The data…

Lorenzo, Carlos-Miguel; Sicilia, Miguel Angel; Sanchez, Salvador – Computers & Education, 2012
Massively Multiuser On-line Learning (MMOL) Platforms, often called "virtual learning worlds", constitute a still unexplored context for communication-enhanced learning, where synchronous communication skills in an explicit social setting enhance the potential of effective collaboration. In this paper, we report on an experimental study of…

Jermann, Patrick; Dillenbourg, Pierre – Computers & Education, 2008
Two experimental studies test the effect of group mirrors upon quantitative and qualitative aspects of participation in collaborative problem solving. Mirroring tools consist of a graphical representation of the group's actions which is dynamically updated and displayed to the collaborators. In addition, metacognitive tools display a standard for…
