q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical argument of the special-issue editors framing the edition's four papers; the editorial states this thesis with the companion claim that "CSCL environments and the processes housed within them have the ability to foster key competencies among learners". No independent evidence is offered in the editorial itself.

"On the one hand, a substantial part of what is lacking in and for successful collaborative interactions can be supported through interventions designed in light of the knowledge we create from our empirical studies."
