Abstract

The field of CSCL is at a critical moment in its development. Internally we face issues of fragmentation and questions about what progress is being made. Externally the rise of social media and a variety of research communities that study the interactions within it raise questions about our unique identity and larger impact on the world. To illuminate the complex issues involved and the multiple perspectives that exist on them, we conducted an iterative and generative consultation with members of the CSCL community through individual interviews and public interactive presentations. The result is a series of eight provocations for the field, each presented as a dialogue between the Provocateur/Provocatrice (who seeks to shake up the status quo) and the Conciliator (who seeks to build on the achievements of our current traditions). The provocations address the debated need for six things: one conceptual framework to unite our diverse tools and theories (#1), prioritization of learner agency over collaborative scripting (#2), scrupulous scrutiny of when “collaboration” and “community” are said to exist (#3), the pursuit of computational approaches to understand collaborative learning (#5), learning analytics and adaptive support to be a top priority in the field (#6), and the expansion of our focus to seriously address social media and large-scale learning environments (#7). In addition, the provocations highlight two areas in which perhaps we should desist: the attempt to reconcile analytical and interpretative approaches to understanding collaboration (#4), and the goal of achieving tangible change in the education system (#8). There are no resolutions offered in this paper; the interchanges presented are designed to lay out the complex constellation of issues involved and can be considered a dialogue that we are still in the process of having with ourselves as individuals and together as a community. We stress the urgency and importance for the field of CSCL to take up these questions and tensions, and critically, to work towards decisions and resultant actions. Our future as a scientific community — our very existence and identity, depends on it.

We are extremely grateful for the strong support and contributions of the CSCL community to this project. The following individuals all gave kindly and willingly of their time and thinking (though we alone take responsibility for the final product and ideas ultimately represented here): Michael Baker, Marcela Borge, Allan Collins, Ulrike Cress, Pierre Dillenbourg, Yannis Dimitriadis, Frank Fischer, Cindy Hmelo-Silver, Yotam Hod, Ulrich Hoppe, Sanna Järvelä, Heisawn Jeong, Yael Kali, Timothy Koschmann, Sten Ludvigsen, Kristine Lund, Miguel Nussbaum, Peter Reimann, Carolyn Rosé, Nikol Rummel, William Sandoval, James Slotta, Gerry Stahl, Daniel Suthers, Anouschka van Leeuwen, Rupert Wegerif, and Jianwei Zhang. In addition, we particularly wish to thank Carolyn Rosé and the CSCL Committee within ISLS for the initial idea and instigation of the work, Nikol Rummel for the opportunity to share and receive feedback on these provocations-in-progress at CSCL 2017, and Sten Ludvigsen for being open to this somewhat unconventional form of scholarship and facilitating its review.
