Welcome to the CSCL2009 dialog blog!

It is our great pleasure to welcome you on the CSCL2009 pre-conference dialogue blog!

The purpose of the blog is to facilitate the dialogue between the authors and other participants of the conference, before, during and after CSCL 2009 conference. There is a post –containing the abstract along with a link to the full text- for every paper that will be presented at the conference. You can view the abstract of a paper, read the full text, post your comments and/or questions, exchange ideas…

Tags associated with the types of the papers have been assigned to the relative posts so that you have the choice of filtering the content you want to read. Just click on a tag and all posts concerning the papers of the corresponding category will be displayed on the main blog’s page. You can then scroll through the posts of this certain category until you find the one(s) you are interested in. All tags are displayed in the tags block on the right column of the blog’s page.

The meanings of the tags are described here below:

(a) Regarding the paper category:

  • ΑF (full papers)
  • AFI (full papers that will be presented in interactive format)
  • API (short papers that will be presented in interactive format)
  • AS (short papers)
  • ASP (posters)

(b) Regarding award nominees:

  • BPN (Best Paper Nominee)
  • BSPN (Best Student Paper Nominee)
  • BTDN (Best Technology Design Nominee)

    Best Paper Nominee

    The TechPALS project expanded a general-purpose handheld CSCL tool (from Chile) to a 3-week classroom module for primary school mathematics (in the United States). To go from tool to module we articulated a framework for an effective CSCL practice– including curricular fit, training materials, pedagogical guidance, formative and summative assessments, and logistical support. In parallel, to meet requirements of the U.S. Department of Education, we conducted classroom experiments to investigate the achievement differences between students who were randomized to use either TechPALS or a non-CSCL product. In this paper, we examine the design changes from initial classroom pilot tests to eventual attainment of statistically significant results, emphasizing the integration of technology, activity designs, and broader educational practices that was required to achieve impacts in ordinary, low-income schools. Based on these results, we recommend a “curricular activity system” framework to support effective CSCL practices.
