The utility of the social network approach for studying computer-mediated communication, be it in computer-supported cooperative work, in virtual community, or in more diffuse interactions over less bounded systems such as the Internet is shown.
Computers and the Collaborative Experience of Learning (1994)
635 Citations2018Charles Crook
This text takes an unconventional stance in considering how new technology can enhance rather than undermine the social experience of learning and instruction, and allow teachers to achieve more in the classroom.

ACM first published recommendations for undergraduate programs in computer science in 1968 in a report called “Curriculum '68,” which has been providing updates to recommendations for computer science programs as well as recommendations for other academic programs in computing.
Lecture notes in computer scienceWWW Based Collaboration with the BSCW System
152 Citations1999Wolfgang Appelt
The principles, architecture and functionality of the current BSCW System are described, a Web based groupware tool using the metaphor of shared virtual workspaces that is particularly useful for cooperation between researchers in distributed environments.
Evaluating CSCL log files by social network analysis
143 Citations1999K. Nurmela, Erno Lehtinen +1 more
The social network analysis approach can be used as a method to evaluate the social level structures and processes of a group studying in a CSCL environment to highlight in particular the participatory aspects of collaborative learning processes.
Social information sharing in a CSCL community
92 Citations2002Hichang Cho, Michael A. Stefanone +1 more
Findings show that social influences, in the form of network prestige effects, strongly affected the likelihood and the extent to which information posted in the CSCL environment was shared by peers in this learning community.
Participatory analysis
85 Citations1997George Chin, Mary Beth Rosson +1 more
A method for pushing the participatory activities further “upstream” in the design process, to the initial analysis of requirements is explored, concluding that the method has promise as a technique for evoking self-reflection and analysis in a participatory design setting.
Courses as Seeds: Expectations and Realities
77 Citations2001Gerhard Fischer, Jonathan Ostwald
This paper outlines the conceptual framework underlying the courses-as-seeds model and contrasts it with traditional educational models in which courses are seen as finished products, and presents characteristics of course information environments (CIEs) as supporting technology.
Multi-faceted evaluation for complex, distributed activities
29 Citations1999Dennis C. Neale, John M. Carroll
This paper overviews and discusses this emerging methodology for computer-supported cooperative learning, developing techniques to address challenges including systematic sampling, collation of multiple evaluation methods and data, and the use of collaborative critical incidents.
Towards an XML-Based Representation of Collaborative Action
22 Citations2003Alejandra Martínez‐Monés, Pablo de la Fuente +1 more
This paper proposes in this paper the approach towards the definition of an XML-based representation of source data, which includes a description of the context of collaboration, and offers a common representation for data of different origin and nature.
A framework for the development of educacional-collaborative applications based on social constructivism [educacional read educational]
18 Citations2003César Osuna, Yannis Dimitriadis
A new telematic-educational framework for the development of educational applications for co-operative work that deals with telematic support for the constructivist and co- cooperative principles of learning and a description of three telematic educational applications based on the framework.
The ethnography of distributed collaborative learning
11 Citations2002Frode Guribye, Barbara Wasson
It is argued that, by taking these issues into consideration, ethnography becomes an adequate and fruitful approach for studying learning as process, interaction, and practice also in distributed settings.
