Critical thinking (CT) is among the core abilities students need to acquire to overcome the unprecedented and ever-changing challenges of the 21st century and beyond. To facilitate the attainment of CT, numerous researchers worldwide have conducted empirical studies focusing on leveraging computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) to improve…

Online collaborative learning has been broadly applied in higher education. However, learners face many challenges in collaborating with one another and coregulating their learning, leading to low group performance. To address the gaps, this study proposed an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled feedback and feedforward approach that not only…

While there are many documented approaches to using technological tools to support collaboration in remote environments, studies related to proof-based courses are overwhelmingly situated in the context of geometry. This study uses instrumental genesis theory to study how students in an introduction to proofs course operationalize the…

The purpose of this study aimed to investigate the impact of incorporating a scripted collaborative learning strategy into digital storytelling (DST) on the vocabulary acquisition, creativity and writing skills of EFL college students. While DST has been previously utilised in English language education, it faces several challenges. To address…

Upvotes serve important purposes in online social annotation environments. However, limited studies have explored the influential factors affecting peer upvoting in online collaborative learning. In this study, we analysed the factors influencing students' upvotes received from their peers as 91 participants utilized Perusall, an online social…

Analyzing how participants learn from each other during online forums on discussion boards or social media platforms is often challenging. One of the predominant methods of analyzing such learning is through qualitative content analysis or interaction analysis. The Interaction Analysis Model (IAM), developed by Gunawardena, Lowe and Anderson which…

Social annotation fosters collaborative learning by encouraging knowledge sharing and a community of inquiry. However, research has primarily focused on the cognitive aspect of social annotation. This study aims to contribute an emotional perspective to the existing literature on social annotation. Specifically, we used the valence-aware…

With the development of information and communication technology, project-based learning (PBL) has become an important pedagogical approach. Group leaders are critical in PBL, and prestige influences learner leadership. Regulation affects learners' prestige, but research on their relationship is lacking. Through content analysis and epistemic…

Carrying out opportunistic collaboration, a method of flexible collaboration centering around ideas and free collaboration structures, is important in knowledge creation organizations, especially for knowledge-building community formation. However, fixed-group collaboration is still widely employed in educational practice, hindering the…

To date, no widely used, scientifically validated instruments designed for assessing secondary education students' teamwork skills exist. As CATME-B shows promising results and might suit secondary education's needs best, this study offers an initial investigation on (1) how students and teachers perceive the use of CATME-B in secondary education…

Successful computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) relies on collaborative group engagement, a complex construct characterized by multifaceted, dynamic, socio-emotional, and socio-cognitive processes. This paper provides a detailed analysis of collaborative group engagement, with a particular focus on nonverbal behaviors as indicators of…

A text semantic classification is an essential approach to recognizing the verbal intention of online learners, empowering reliable understanding, and inquiry for the regulations of knowledge construction amongst students. However, online learning is increasingly switching from static watching patterns to the collaborative discussion. The current…

A networked learning community (NLC) comprises teachers from different schools engaging collaboratively in purposeful and sustained professional learning. Networked learning entails the construction of knowledge that is new to the members of the group by tapping their collective practitioner knowledge and the public knowledge base. Members can use…

Social annotation is a teaching and learning technique in which students post comments on electronic course materials in a shared space. The purpose of this study is to examine students' perceptions of social annotation in the context of motivation and social justice. In addition, the connections between social annotation and course grades were…

Online collaborative learning has been widely used in the field of education. However, unrelated or off-topic information is often included in online collaborative learning. Furthermore, the content of online discussion is often too shallow or narrow. To achieve productive collaborative learning, this study proposed and validated an automated…
