Title: | Mashing-up wikis and forums: a case study of collaborative problem-based activity | Authors: | Stylianou-Georgiou, Agni Ioannou, Andri |
Major Field of Science: | Social Sciences | Field Category: | Media and Communications | Keywords: | Wikis(Computer science);Online social networks--Computer programs | Issue Date: | 14-Jun-2012 | Source: | Educational media international, 2012, vol.49, no.4, pp.303-316 | Volume: | 49 | Issue: | 4 | Start page: | 303 | End page: | 316 | Abstract: | A lot of studies have investigated the isolated use of threaded discussion and wiki technologies to facilitate collaboration in online learning settings. Nevertheless, the integration of both technologies into a potentially superior collaborative learning tool has not been explicitly investigated. This manuscript reports on an effort to undertake the merging and cooperation of wiki and threaded discussion technologies into a more sophisticated technology that better supports collaboration during problem-based activity in computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) settings. Two customized collaboration technologies were investigated for their affordances to support students' cognitive processes and interactions during the construction of a group solution to an authentic problem. We found that one technology - WikiSplit - was particularly successful in promoting diversity of ideas (forum mode) while allowing learners to periodically update a group-owned document with syntheses of their emerging and shared understandings (wiki mode). We discuss how the integrated use of both a forum and a wiki, packaged together as one tool, can support and mediate desirable CSCL interactions during problem-based activity | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/3474 | ISSN: | 14695790 | DOI: | 10.1080/09523987.2012.741201 | Rights: | ©2012 International Council for Educational Media | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | University of Nicosia Cyprus University of Technology |
