Abstract

This chapter presents a proposal for a pattern-based approach for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) scripts that aims to integrate learning and assessment activities. After a general presentation of the approach, the chapter will focus on a case study which covers the whole life-cycle of a CSCL script with embedded assessment activities. The case, which took place in the context of a computer-mediated learning environment, includes the design, instantiation, enactment and evaluation of the script. Focusing on the relevance of the assessment activities which are integrated in the script, the case study illustrates the complexity of formalizing computer-interpretable CSCL scripts with embedded assessment. The usage of design patterns is proposed as a means of providing support and hiding the complexity of creating and enacting such scripts. The case study shows the feasibility of this approach, and provides information about the requirements of CSCL script authoring tools to employ assessment and learning design patterns to support non-expert designers in those tasks.
