Analyzing and conceptualizing collaborative learning with digital knowledge objects

This workshop on Analyzing collaborative learning with digital knowledge objects is a part of the 2021 Annual Meeting of the International Society of the Learning Sciences. This year’s conference is online and will bring together research under the theme of Reflecting the Past and Embracing the Future.

Call for participation and contributions

With the surge of multimodal data analytics, automated analysis of interaction data has also advanced greatly. Yet, analysis of collaboration through tracing work with digital objects, , e.g., collaborative essays, research reports, prototypes, digital tools, often used or developed together by learners, is not common. This workshop aims to create opportunities for researchers, designers and practitioners to share their research questions and challenges, and discuss theoretical and methodological approaches to examining collaborative learning with digital objects. In the workshop, we will:

• Explore conceptualizations, methods and research on collaboration with digital objects
• Articulate common themes and issues relevant for research and methodological work
• Outline an integrative agenda and network for future collaboration.

The workshop will include different forms of activity: sharing ow work & interests (Pecha Kucha presentations), progressive brainstorming, documented group work and plenary discussions, as well as joint framing plans for future collaboration.

How to participate and register

Researchers, students and practitioners are invited to join this workshop and contribute. We invite contributions from participants interested in a) expanding their understanding of collaborative learning, and b) methodological challenges and possible solutions for capturing and analyzing digital traces of collaboration with digital objects.
