THIS WEEK’S TOPIC We’re still working away on “representational guidance”, and looking at articles by Suthers, Liddo & Shum, and Stahl. Here are this week’s questions: What is the connection between “contested meaning making” in Liddo and Shum, and Knowledge Building? Are they similar? What about the tools they propose? How can you use Suthers’ [...]
The central question of the Suthers’ (2008) article asks: “if representations are resources for conversation, does it matter which representation one uses?” The answer, not surprisingly, is yes, but it depends on what kind of conversation you’re trying to encourage, and what kind of objective you wish to achieve.

This post is a bit messy, but I hope you bear with me (it’s been a long day). I’ll start where this post’s title ends off, with the question: Are we a COP? Responses from #csclintro‘ers ranged from: “Sort of” … to “Not Really” … to “Who Cares?” Points on the “not really” side of [...]
Happy Monday intro-cscl’ers! Sorry for the delay with this Bi-Weekly – the site was down last night! Here’s what’s been happening this week: THIS WEEK’S TOPIC We’ve been puzzling this week about what an OER coming out of this course might look like — we’ve agreed to use this next week to both dig into [...]
Recommendations For Specialized Uses of CSCL HISTORY I want to begin a conversation around CSCL for history by briefly outlining what I mean by “competencies in history” as well as the conception of historical reasoning I’m working with. So, the following post is my effort to base exploration of the kinds of CSCL tools and [...]
