What is Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)?

"Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) is a pedagogical approach wherein learning takes place via social interaction using a computer or through the Internet. This kind of learning is characterized by the sharing and construction of knowledge among participants using technology as their primary means of communication or as a common resource. CSCL can be implemented in online and classroom learning environments and can take place synchronously or asynchronously.(1)"

Embed the slide show in your website.

(3) Duplicate a CSCL Activity - History of Computer Technology

Duplicate the entire History of the development of Computer Technology activity
Index it and all subsequent CSLC Activities in a separate directory in your website

(4) Sample CSCL Activity - Cognates

Complete the entire CSCL activity on Cognates .
After you have submitted your completed form, you will receive a link to view the summary of all the responses. This summary includes charts and text responses, providing an anonymous overview of the data collected from all participants. Embed this summary as an archive of this activity.

(5) Modify CSCL Activity - Cognates

Copy the Cognates activity. Modify it to fit your needs or the needs of another instructor. Embed the new form here.

(6) Implementation of a CSLC Activity

- Employ one of the preceding CSCL activities in class
- Summarize how the activity supports learning goals, engages students, is accessible and easy to use, and provides meaningful opportunities for assessment and interaction.
