CSCL 2010 - Analysing CSCL (Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning) Data from Multiple Perspectives

Considering the increasing interests and concerns related to CSCL research, it is pertinent to hold a workshop that brings together CSCL researchers from diverse disciplines and countries across Asia Pacific, and have an opportunity for meaningful dialogue. In particular, this workshop hopes to focus on methodological issues by bringing together researchers who are interested in analysing CSCL interaction data from the perspective of content, discourse, conversation and interaction analyses; and any other meaningful and innovative analyses such as social network and semantic network analyses. The discussion focuses towards the methodological issues and good practices of analysing complex CSCL data. Both work in-progress and completed work are welcomed to present. To make the workshop more interactive and participatory, the program will include both paper presentations and break-out/panel discussions.


We invite papers to be presented in the ICCE 2010 workshop “Analysing CSCL Data from Multiple Perspectives”. We encourage diverse perspectives and participation of researchers who have been involved in CSCL research in the Asia Pacific region. Relevant topics for the papers include but are not limited to the following:

Theoretical models of analyzing CSCL data
Methodological consideration (e.g., unit of analysis, reliability, validity, multi-scaling, etc)
Comparison of multiple perspectives
Technical tools to support CSCL data analysis
Innovative ways to analyze CSCL data (e.g., semantic network analysis, social network analysis, Web 2.0 tools, etc).
Important dates are:

Submission deadline of workshop paper: 27 August 2010
Acceptance notification: 22 September 2010
Final papers for the workshop proceeding: 8 October 2010
Proposals should follow the format of conference papers. Please use the author guidelines available at
