Description¶

The review recommends that making students' ideas visible and revisable in a shared technological space fosters co-regulation. It states that "when students can make their ideas explicit in a communal space, supported by technology, they may be better able to regulate, monitor and reflect on their thoughts, both individually and collectively", and that making ideas public with opportunities for shared and revised understanding may prompt more co-regulation. Knowledge Forum is given as an example, with scaffolds such as 'putting our knowledge together' and meta-discourse prompts.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Technology embedded within a rich pedagogy, since technology-enhanced instruction may increase cognitive loads and affect learning efficiency

Constraints¶

• The review notes concerns that technology-enhanced instruction may increase cognitive loads

Target Learners¶

• students in CSCL classrooms

Target Learning Goals¶

• co-regulation, monitoring and reflection on individual and collective ideas

Claims¶

• Medical students using an interactive whiteboard with a structured argument template show deeper collaborative and regulatory discourse and better patient-management outcomes than students using traditional whiteboards [+W]

Related Strategies¶

• Incorporate Technology into Reflection
