Abstract

The aim of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is to integrate research on collaborative learning with the use of Information and Communication Technologies. From a holistic perspective, this chapter covers the research approaches and current trends concerning CSCL. In fact, the CSCL within the education dimension suggests the development of software/applications that bring learners together, offering both creative activities of intellectual exploration, metacognition and social interaction. A clear overview of the field, including a presentation of key-terminology and major issues, along with some important directions and open issues are discussed, towards an effort to offer a more comprehensive view of the current research in CSCL. This contributes to the enhancement of the role of collaborative learning within the purposes of this book.
