May, 12th, 2007 - Call for participation in a workshop at the CSCL conference on the Convergence of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning and Inquiry Learning
The ERT CoSSICLE is pleased to announce a workshop in collaboration
with the CSCL SIG and the CSIL SIG of Kaleidoscope. This workshop aims to foster synergy between research on collaborative and inquiry learning. Planned activities include input talks and a review of contributions to the current and future state of software development and scripts for computer supported collaborative inquiry learning. The workshop is part of
the pre-conference events of the CSCL 2007.
April, 26th, 2007 - Call for participation in a workshop on "Analysing Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning"
The ERT CoSSICLE is pleased to announce a workshop in collaboration
with the VDS and the ERT Educational Formats. In this workshop we will
discuss how qualitative and quantitative procedures that are typical
for CSCL research can be applied. Furthermore, we will discuss the
benefits of a mixed-methods approach, i.e. the simultaneous application
of qualitative and quantitative methods. The workshop is part of
the JURE 2007.February, 23rd, 2007 - Call for participation in a workshop on "Languages and platforms for CSCL Scripts"
The ERT CoSSICLE is pleased to announce a workshop in collaboration
with researchers from the Holon Institute of Technology, Israel. The workshop features contributions that focus on the theoretical background and empirical findings on CSCL scripts to first set the stage for participants of different backgrounds (educational practitioners and researchers of educational science, educational psychology or computer science). Second, analyses of given languages or platforms for CSCL scripts will be discussed. Third, participants will create scripts that they will be able to use in their own settings with different types of languages and platforms. The
workshop is part of
the pre-conference events of the CSCL 2007.October, 10th, 2006 - ERT CoSSICLE featured in online magazine
The Office of Science & Technology features an article on Kaleidoscope - including our ERT CoSSICLE - in vol. 11 of their online magazine Bridges (read).July, 28th, 2006 - Call for participation in workshop on computer-supported collaboration scripts
The ERT CoSSICLE is pleased to announce a workshop in collaboration with the VDS. The workshop aims to bring together participants from different disciplinary backgrounds in order to explore and discuss the state-of-the-art and future of scripted learning environments.March, 29th, 2006 - ERT Meeting in Oberhausen
In this meeting, we evaluated a prototype for the graphical modelling editor.February, 16th, 2006 - Virtual ERT Meeting
Using a video-conferencing system, we held a virtual meeting that focused on management and coordination tasks for this year.December, 22nd, 2005 - VDS Course Material
Our third deliverable for this year features a compilation of presentations with a synopsis, slides and audio stream that can be made use of in a VDS course. This material was collected from our recent workshop and is available for download.November, 30th, 2005 - Framework for the Specification of Computer-Supported Collaboration Scripts
Our second deliverable for this year has just been submitted to Kaleidoscope (download). The framework specifies the components and mechanisms that constitute collaboration scripts and illustrates them with example scripts.November, 25th, 2005 - VDS Workshop in Tübingen
We had a very productive workshop with PhD students from Finland, Belgium, Spain and Germany. To get an impression of the atmosphere, take a look at the pictures.July, 11th, 2005 - ERT meeting at the Kaleidoscope Symposium in Oberhausen
Our third ERT milestone meeting at the Kaleidoscope Symposium focused on a framework for the specification of scripts. A first draft was presented and discussed. Further topics were upcoming visits of ERT members and the VDS workshop at the end of November, for which the application was successful.June, 6th, 2005 - Workshops and Milestone Meeting at the CSCL in Taipei, Taiwan
Several workshops with contributions by members of the ERT were held at the CSCL. The workshops about computer-supported scripting were videotaped for later reference. Our ERT meeting focused on the application for a VDS workshop and opportunities for cross-institutional collaboration.May, 2nd, 2005 - First Deliverable published
Our first deliverable D 29.1.1, documenting our website and shared workspace, was finalized and published last week. The deliverable serves as a showcase for organizing cross-institutional collaboration with web-based tools and is made publicly available on our resources page. The document provides detailed information on design and implementation issues as well as a description on the rationale/usage of all features, such as public presentation, internal communication, document sharing, and document editing.March, 21st, 2005 - Offical Website launched
Our website and shared workspace was finally launched. It makes use of a sophisticated groupware system developed here in Tübingen featuring user management, mailing list management, hosting of the message archive, a newsfeed on recent changes/additions as well as a shared document repository with version tracking. As this website and shared workspace is our first deliverable, a detailed documentation is in work and will be made available soon.March, 17th, 2005 - Mailing List in Use
We started using a mailing list for internal communication now. Besides facilitating user management, it's main advantage is the automatic archiving of messages. Thus, new ERT members can follow-up on our discussion so far by reading the messages in the members-only area of our website. As this mailing list serves internal communication purposes only, its address will not be disclosed to the public. If you wish to get in touch with us, please refer to our contact information page.March, 11th, 2005 - Documentation of the Kick-Off Meeting
Our kick-off meeting in Zürich is now documented in two ways: A detailed summary of central points of our discussion is provided in the members-only area of our website. Furthermore, Kevin Walker video-taped the meeting and provided links to the streaming video files on the web. Right now, documentation will not be made publicly available, but we are considering to upload presentation slides with comments to our resources area of the website. The Kaleidoscope website features a news article about our kick-off meeting.February, 24th, 2005 - Kick-Off Meeting in Zürich
