Learning Outcomes
This course introduces students to theoretical and applied research of collaborative learning (CSCL/W) depending in social cognition and social constructivism learning theories (situated learning – cognitive apprenticeship).
On completion of the course, the students will be able:
- to demonstrate knowledge in designing CSCL/W in educational and business settings.
- to choose and critically evaluate the perspectives of social & dialectical constructivism:
- to realize how CSCL/W can facilitate sharing and distributing of knowledge and expertise among community members.
- to synthesize projects in the context of socio-cognitive and social constructivism models in a CSCL/W.
- to create CSCL project in schooling, training/vocational environments.
- to realize the added value of collaboration in global society (multicultural awareness).
