Reading List

These papers cover a variety of aspects of computer support for collaborative learning.

Background Papers

SIGCUE Outlook on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning, Spring 1992 (Volume 21, number 3).
Included in this journal is an introduction: "Computer Support for Collaborative Learning: Design, Theory and Research Issues" by Tim Koschmann.

CACM, Volume 39 Number 4.
Recent CACM issue on Learner Centered Design.

Journal of the Learning Sciences, 1993/1994 - Volume 3, number 3: Special Issue: Computer Support for Collaborative Learning.
Included in this journal are two articles by Tim Koschmann: "Toward a Theory of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning", and "Using Technology to Assist in Realizing Effective Learning and Instruction: A Principled Approach to the Use of Computers in Collaborative Learning". (Both are pretty thick papers, but may shed some light on "how to do" CSCL.)

Clements, D. H and Nastasi, B. K. The Role of Social Interaction in the Development of Higher-Order Thinking in Logo Environments, in Computer-Based Learning Environments and Problem Solving. E. de-Corte and M. C. Linn and H. Mandl and L. Verschaffel, ed. Springer-Verlag, 1992, pp. 229-247.
Clements and Nastasi tested Logo with children in a cooperative environment where two kids used one keyboard in order to determine how conflict and successful resolution helps or hinders learning. Their conclusion was that Logo seems to help conflict resolution and development of higher order thinking. Co-present, synchronous.

Dockterman, D. A. Cooperative Learning and Computers, in SIGQUE Outlook. 21, 2 (1991), pp 39-43.
Collaborative learning for social studies and history. He states that cooperative learning has been overused. The article also states that there are obstacles to cooperative learning, such as lack of teacher experience, too much material to cover, and that computers may help to overcome these obstacles by assisting in class management, information flow and record keeping.

Inkpen, K. Booth, K. S. Klawe, M. and Upitis, R. Playing Together Beats Playing Apart, Especially for Girls, in Proc. CSCL'95 (Bloomington, October 17-20, 1995), ACM Press, N.Y., pp 177-181.
This study compared children using "The Incredible Machine" in various situations: two together on one machine (in same sex and mix sexed pairs), vs children working independently. There are other papers that can be used for back up material, including the E-GEMS tech report 94-5. Co-present, synchronous.

Palmer, J. D. and Fields, N. A. Guest Editor's Introduction: Computer Supported Cooperative Work. IEEE Computer. 27, 5 (May 1994), pp 15-17.
A good introduction to computer supported cooperative work. Categorizes CSCW modes, and gives a glossary of terms.

Vockell, E. L. Group Size for Computerized Instruction, in Educational Technology 29, 9 (1989), pp. 30-32.
This paper begins by describing the three types of learning - individualistic, competitive, cooperative and the two phases of learning, learning phase where students receive feed back and clarifications, and the practice phase, where computers can be useful. The paper also discusses what group size is good for different phases and types of learning.

Systems and applications papers

Background papers on the different types of systems in CSCW. How can we classify these systems?
Bier, E. and Freeman, S. MMM: A User Interface Architecture for Shared Editors on a Single Screen, in UIST'91, (Hilton Head, November 11-13, 1991), ACM Press, N.Y., pp 79-86.
MMM stands for Multi-Device Multi-User Multi-Editor. This is the only other work I've found where they use multiple mice on a single machine. It's a good paper and talks about some of the problems of sharing screen space, etc. Co-present, synchronous.

Bricker, L., Tanimoto, S., Rothenberg, A., Hutama, D., Wong, T. Multiplayer Activities Which Develop Mathematical Coordination, in Proc. CSCL'95 (Bloomington, October 17-20, 1995), ACM Press, N.Y., pp 32-39.
Our work from a couple of years ago. Co-present, Synchronous.

Bricker, L., Baker, M., and Tanimoto, S. Support for Cooperatively Controlled Objects in Multimedia Applications. Work in progress.
This paper presents a methodology for designing objects that encourage close collaboration in multimedia environments. A definition is given for cooperatively controlled objects which distinguishes them from objects whose components are shared. Co-present, synchronous.

Cockburn, A. and Greenberg, S. Children's Collaboration Styles in a Newtonian MicroWorld, in Proc. Proceedings of CHI'96 Human Factors in Computing Systems (April 13-18, Vancouver, BC), ACM/SIGCHI , N.Y., 1996, pp. 181-182.
This paper describes Turbo Turble - a distributed animated multi-user microworld. Each user has a presence on the screen indicated by a colored cursor. There's another paper on this in CSCL'95. Distance, Synchronous.

Gisi, M. A., and Sacchi, C. Co-CAD: A Collaborative Mechanical CAD System, in PRESENCE. 3, 4 (1995), p 341-350.
Describes general features of CSCW systems, including shared design data (semantic view), customizable views vs WYSIWIS (but also adds view synchronization), Shared pointer vs individual pointers, ownership of objects like Unix, joining/leaving sessions.

Gutwin, C, Stark, G., and Greenberg, S. Support for Workspace Awareness in Educational Groupware, in Proceedings of CSCL'95 (Bloomington, October 17-20, 1995), ACM Press, N.Y., pp 147-156.
GroupKit is a set of controls designed to give distance cooperative users an awareness of their collaborators workspace. This paper describes "workspace awareness" and some of the controls. There is also a suite of papers in CHI'96 which describes more of the controls and how they can be used. Distance, synchronous.

Patterson, J. F., Hill, R. D. and Rohall, S. L. Rendezvous: An Architecture for Synchronous Multi-User Applications, in Proceedings of CSCW'90, (Los Angeles, CA, October 7-10, 1990), ACM Press, N.Y., pp. 317-328.
Actually there is also another paper from UIST '91 which also describes this system. Distance, Synchronous.

Pozzi, S., Peterc, D., Concoliino, P., Di Nitto, E., and Moninaro, A. ImageAnnotator: An Image-Based Cooperative Application, in ??? pp 192-197.
A cooperative image processing application.

Shen, H. and Dewan, P. Access Control for Collaborative Environments, in Proceedings of CSCW'92 (Toronto, October 31-November 4, 1992), ACM Press, N.Y., pp 51-58.
Using access control methods to support sharing in a collaborative environment. They discuss the rules and architecture used in a distributed collaborative environment. They also talk some about user "roles." Distant, Synchronous.

Smith, R. B. What You See is What I Think You See, in SIGCUE Outlook. 21, 3 (Spring 1992).
Defines WYSIWITYS (see title above), and SharedArk, a collaborative Microworld system.
