Name of the Practice, method or methodology: A pattern-based design process for the creation of CSCL macro-scripts computationally represented with IMS LD
Brief description: A design process based on Collaborative Learning Flow Patterns (CLFPs), a particular type of CSCL scripting patterns that suggests generalized structures of macro-scripts. The main goal of the design process is twofold. On the one hand, it aims at enabling the conceptualization of the expected interaction focusing on CSCL critical elements through the refinement of CLFP-based templates. And, on the other hand, it intends facilitating the teacher-friendly creation of LD-represented scripts by hiding LD details.
