Subclaims¶

q1 i? The temporal structure by which one action takes up the contribution of a previous action underlies collaborative learning, yet theories and methods have not sufficiently focused on it. → Gerry Stahl & Friedrich Hesse 2010

Evidence¶

Gerry Stahl & Friedrich Hesse 2010¶

q1 · i? · theoretical · r1

Editors' framing (type e) of the Suthers, Dwyer, Medina and Vatrapu opening article, presenting their Hawaii lab's thinking on sequentiality. The editors state this temporal structure "underlies the possibility of collaborative learning."

"This year 's opening article addresses the central problem of sequentiality in CSCL discourse: How are we to analyze, represent, and understand the ways in which one action takes up the contribution of a previous action in an online interaction?"
