TL;DR
The aim of the present paper is to explore the foundations for CSCL, and in doing so, to contribute to the theoretical as well as empirical understanding and development of CSCL research.
Abstract
In 1996 Koschmann (1996) suggested computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) as an emerging paradigm of educational technology. After six years, how has the field developed? What does research say about CSCL to date? What is the state of the art? The aim of the present paper is to explore the foundations for CSCL, and in doing so, to contribute to the theoretical as well as empirical understanding and development of CSCL research.

164 Citations1998Charles Crook
It is argued that new technology offers a special potential for supporting the development of collaborative learning in early education, but the scope of the resourcing required extends beyond meeting the traditional formats of circumscribed group work and designers for this style of learning need to address collaboration managed as a broader communal concern within the very fabric of educational settings.
