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)

(c) Regarding the conference sessions:

  • PS_1: Analyzing Group Cognition in CSCL Practises
  • PS_2: Scripts & Scaffolds
  • PS_3: Argumentation & Problem Based Learning
  • PS_4: Tabletops and tangibles
  • PS_5: Teacher Professional Development & Communities of Practice
  • PS_6: Discussion & Conflict Resolution
  • PS_7: Approaches to Analyzing Interaction

    Using Process Mining to Identify Models of Group Decision Making in Chat Data

    This paper introduces process modeling and mining as an approach to process analysis for CSCL. This approach is particularly relevant for collaborative learning that takes a project-based form, and is applied in this study to online chat data from teams working on a complex task. The groups differed in terms of the number of members and the amount of scaffolding aimed at group processes and task requirements. The models, produced using the HeuristicsMiner algorithm, showed that the group with fewer members that received more instruction in the task requirements had a more linear decision-making process than the group that received instruction in group processes, however neither were an example of a linear, unitary phase model. This approach has relevance both for CSCL research methods and for providing feedback to students on their decision-making processes.
