In this paper we focus on the organization of activities that produce shared graphical representations on the whiteboard of a CSCL system with dual interaction spaces called VMT Chat, and the ways these representations are used in conjunction with chat postings as semiotic resources by interactants as they jointly make sense of and build upon each other's mathematical statements. Keywords: Dual interaction spaces, interaction analysis, shared representations

Integrating synchronous and asynchronous support for group cognition in online collaborative learning Stahl, Gerry; Çakır, Murat Perit (2008-06-23) The Virtual Math Teams (VMT) environment has recently integrated a wiki component into its text chat and shared whiteboard system. The wiki component serves a number of purposes, such as summarizing synchronous small-group interactions and sharing the results among groups in an asynchronous knowledge-building community. The VMT project is part of an effort to investigate group cognition--the accomplishment of problem-solving and knowledge-building tasks by small groups, particularly in online, distributed c...
Guidelines and principles for efficient interaction on large touchscreens with collaborative usage Pekin, Tacettin Sercan; İşler, Veysi; Günel Kılıç, Banu; Department of Information Systems (2017) Understanding collaborative usage of large-size screen systems is important for advancing the general study of human-computer interaction (HCI) as well as for guiding the designers while creating efficient interactive large-size systems. This thesis aims to provide guidance for the designers of collaborative large-size screen systems. It therefore gives background information about such systems, defines similarities and differences in existing systems, compares existing design guidelines and principles, tes...
The effects of metacognitive knowledge on the pre-service teachers' participation in the asynchronous online forum Topcu, Abdullah; Ubuz, Behiye (2008-01-01) This paper researches the effects that students' metacognitive knowledge has on their participation in online forum discussions, which form part of a web-based asynchronous course based on a constructivist instructional approach. Metacognitive knowledge increases learners' ability to be independent learners, which is an indispensable characteristic of the distant learner. The study was carried out with 32 third-grade pre-service teachers. Each message in the forum discussions was analyzed in terms of intera...
Investigation of haptic line graph comprehension through co production of gesture and language Deniz, Ozan; Mehmetcan, Fal; Acartürk, Cengiz (null; 2013-06-30) In communication settings, statistical graphs accompany language by providing visual access to various aspects of domain entities, such as conveying information about trends. A similar and comparable means for providing perceptual access is to provide haptic graphs for blind people. In this study, we present the results of an experimental study that aimed to investigate visual line graphs and haptic line graphs in time domain by means of gesture production as an indicator of event conceptualization. The par...
Informing the Design of Collaborative Activities in MOOCs using Actionable Predictions Er, Erkan; Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Bote-Lorenzo, Miguel L.; Asensio-Perez, Juan I.; Dimitriadis, Yannis (2019-01-01) With the aim of supporting instructional designers in setting up collaborative learning activities in MOOCs, this paper derives prediction models for student participation in group discussions. The salient feature of these models is that they are built using only data prior to the learning activity, and can thus provide actionable predictions, as opposed to post-hoc approaches common in the MOOC literature. Some learning design scenarios that make use of this actionable information are illustrated.
