Description¶
The editorial organizes CSCL analyses of shared knowledge into four paradigms spanning a range from individual to community levels. It states that "Studies of CSCL each tend to focus on a certain form of knowledge and assume a certain way of sharing this knowledge," with choices depending on the study's theoretical position. The paradigms are offered as a lens for reading the issue's four technology-design articles, and the authors note it "may be possible to select the most appropriate paradigm for any given study."
