Description

The article presents what it calls an affordance framework for electronic collaborative learning environments for learning and working. The framework is offered as a shared lens because designers currently build such environments according to their own constructivist interpretations, educators employ them in diverse situations, and researchers comparing them find no conclusive evidence about whether, where, when or why they work. The framework is intended to structure the design and evaluation of these environments.
