It differs by discipline--e.g., psychology, education, computer science, sociology. \u0000 \u0000In some cases theory is used to derive special expectations to be tested in order to confirm and refine a developed and differentiated theory which can be used to guide design and intervention. In other cases (such as grounded theory, action research or ethnography) theory and analytic categories emerge largely from the data or even as a reflection on practice and the needs of practitioners. For design-based research, theory, research and practice co-evolve together through iterative trials in naturalistic circumstances. In this symposium, the nature of theories, their relevance for research and practice and their benefits with respect to traditions of the disciplines contributing to CSCL will be discussed as major forces for productive tensions in our field. \u0000 \u0000Researchers from the CSCL-Community and Authors of ijCSCL papers representing different positions on this issue will briefly present their arguments. Discussants will respond to each of these presentations. The audience will be challenged to conclude on productive roles for theory, research and practice in CSCL. In this context we will have two short contributions from participants for the theory part, two for the practice part and one contribution from a discussant.","PeriodicalId":120843,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning","volume":"302 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114858228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increased financial burden for these institutions and the enhanced task burden for teachers working with small groups of students threaten the quality of teaching and learning. In order to cope with this situation, computer-mediated collaboration (telecollaboration) was used to provide teachers with the opportunity to work with colleagues from other colleges who teach similar courses. In this short paper, the impacts of telecollaboration on resources diversity and teacher professional development are examined. After four semesters of experimentation, questionnaires and interviews suggest that teachers learned from their colleagues as they shared ideas and acquired pedagogical and technopedagogical knowledge and skills.","PeriodicalId":120843,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134512666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The value of a dialogic analytic framework including creative emergence was tested through applying it to the coding and analysis of undergraduate synchronous e-discussions using a graphical interface within the EU funded project ARGUNAUT. Qualitative analysis found that critical reasoning functioned to 'deepen' the graph through unpacking assumptions whilst creative emergence of new perspectives produced 'widening' moves. This distinction between deepening and widening was successfully used as the basis for an artificial intelligence (AI) graph-matching algorithm. Given examples of deepening and widening from real e-discussions, the AI algorithm was able to successfully find other occurrences of such moves within new e-discussions. This supports our claim to distinguish between these two aspects of shared thinking and has the potential to provide awareness indicators as a support for e-moderation.","PeriodicalId":120843,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133389935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data consist of transcripts from three forms of online discourse--an email listserv, an electronic discussion board, and a course-related wiki--from three groups of preservice secondary teachers (grades 6-12) located in three U.S. states.
