CSCL'99 Invitation
You are cordially invited to participate in and attend Computer Support for Collaborative Learning '99, to be held at the Stanford University, Stanford California USA on December 12-15, 1999. CSCL '99 is the third international conference devoted to the exploration of the roles for technology in collaborative forms of learning and teaching.
Participation in this conference is invited from designers, educators, researchers, and students in a diverse set of disciplines including: education, cognitive and educational psychology, didactics, computer science, anthropology, sociology, speech communication, semiotics, technology design, linguistics, engineering, ergonomics, and subject matter specialties.
Topics of Interest
CSCL '99 topics include all tool designs, theoretical contributions, & empirical studies which advance support for collaborative learning. Suggested areas include:
Designs for Tools- novel uses of email, discussions, listservs, chat rooms, videoconferencing for learning- innovations in applying the web, groupware, & hypermedia for collaborative learning- Multi-user virtual environments and virtual places (MUVEs, MOOs, MUDs)- agents & intelligent systems for CSCL- extending successful learning tools (microworlds, games, simulations) to promote collaboration- virtual realities and shared whiteboards for learning- GUI or architectural design principles for CSCL
Theoretical perspectives- pedagogical theories (case-based, problem-based, design-based, project-based, etc) for CSCL- elaboration of foundational ideas (constructionism, scaffolding, inquiry, argumentation, shared knowledge)- building on core disciplines (e.g., Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, HCI,)- applying Activity Theory, Situated Learning, Distributed Cognition, Participatory Design in CSCL.- useful frameworks, guidelines, principles for design, research, implementation, evaluation
Studies and Methods- discourse & video analysis of CSCL- cognition & conceptual change studies of CSCL- assessing student achievement, evaluating CSCL systems- qualitative analyses of CSCL (case studies, action research, participatory design, ethnography)- equity & gender issues in CSCL changes in affect, knowledge, identity with CSCL- CSCL in community and informal learning settings- best practices for CSCL design teams
Thinking Outside the Box- self-improving CSCL communities (information filtering, recommender systems)- architectural learning spaces (cooperative buildings, smart walls)- handheld, mobile, or low-cost CSCL- partnering across sectors and organizations for CSCL- your idea which revolutionizes CSCL
