Abstract
This chapter creates a framing in term of collaborative learning, as it is focused on presenting chats that emerged as a viable alternative to the classic view of learning within Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL): Bakhtin’s dialogism (Bakhtin 1981) that defines the CSCL paradigms, computational approaches and Social Network Analysis (SNA) as the main Learning Analytics (LA) tool for modeling interaction between conversation participants.
