Online collaborative learning (OCL) has been a mainstream pedagogy in the field of higher education. However, learners often produce off-topic information and engage less during online collaborative learning compared to other approaches. In addition, learners often cannot converge in knowledge, and they often do not know how to coregulate with…

Learning analytics (LA) has been widely adopted in research on education. However, most studies in the area have conducted LA after computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) activities rather than during CSCL. To address this problem, this study proposed a LA-based real-time feedback approach based on a deep neural network model to improve…

Online collaborative learning has been an effective pedagogy in the field of education. However, productive collaborative learning cannot occur spontaneously. Learners often have difficulties in collaborative knowledge building, group performance, coregulated behaviors, learning engagement, and social interaction. To promote productive…

Online collaborative learning is implemented extensively in higher education. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to help learners achieve high-level group performance, knowledge elaboration, and socially shared regulation in online collaborative learning. To cope with these challenges, this study proposes and evaluates a novel automated…

Learning analytics has been widely used in the field of education. Most studies have adopted a learning analytics dashboard to present data on learning processes or learning outcomes. However, only presenting learning analytics results was not sufficient and lacked personalised feedback. In response to these gaps, this study proposed a learning…

This book highlights the importance of design in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) by proposing data-driven design and assessment. It addresses data-driven design, which focuses on the processing of data and on improving design quality based on analysis results, in three main sections. The first section explains how to design…
