Description

A computer-supported discussion forum developed by Gerry Stahl and colleagues for small-group knowledge-building discussions with tools for voting on, annotating, critiquing, and revising postings.

Components

  • Knowledge Catalyser discussion forum scaffolding metacognition through voting, annotating, critiquing, and revising postings: The Knowledge Catalyser is a discussion forum designed to scaffold metacognition in a small discussion group. The editorial states it was designed "by having students vote on, annotate, critique, and revise each other's postings." It was observed in a normal course rather than a laboratory trial, and student postings were coded for metacognitive actions of planning, clarifying, or monitoring. (Gerry Stahl et al. (2010))
