Tools and Resources for Setting Up Collaborative Spaces

International Handbook of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning

Abstract

Great strides have been made in the field of CSCL toward fostering diversity at all levels including theory, methods, and technologies. This chapter provides a reflection on the field from the standpoint of the endeavor to provide tools to expedite the work we do as learning scientists. It points to some notable existing resources while also exploring the reasons why the development of high-profile, wide distribution tools to support the work has not been a priority for the community. It then provides a vision for future work that respects these reasons but points to ways community resources might be better served with greater care and attention allocated to this vision.
