q2 i? The editors report an experimental manipulation of affordances through device-to-student ratio and scripting, with analysis across role emergence, role coordination, and group structure revealing a dichotomy between efficient collaboration and internal coordination and close interaction. → Carolyn Rosé 2021

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2

Editorial account (the editors describe Wang & Li's experimental manipulation using a device-to-student ratio and scripts, analyzed via thematic analysis, descriptive statistics, and social network analysis): a dichotomy appeared between "efficient collaboration" valued for outcomes and close interaction valued for collaboration quality.

"An interesting dichotomy between efficient collaboration on the one side, which is valued in terms of outcomes, and internal coordination and close interaction on the other side, which is valued from the perspective of collaboration quality."
