Euro-CAT-CSCL, objectives of the project

Euro-CAT-CSCL is a project under the action Industry-AcademiaPartnerships and Pathways (IAPP) of the 7th Framework Programme forInvestigation & Development of Technology in the European Union (FP7).

EURO-CAT-CSCL aims

Understand the students difficulties with the CSCL context Improve the

  CSCL environments (platforms)

  Education & Learning processes

  Students e-learning experiences (learner/centred approach)

Enhance the tools support for

  Metacognition  Group contextual information(group awareness)

Euro-CAT-CSCL, first results

34 groups (n=149) engaged in 3 different collaborative contexts: 

F2F, computer mediated learning teams within the same time zone, and internationalcomputer mediated learning teams with time zone differences.

Groups with no previous knowledge have a major tendency to underestimate, whereasgroups of people with an intermediate previous knowledge have a tendency tooverestimate, and groups with a high previous knowledge had quite a reliableestimation. Time differences do not induce intersubjective time estimation difficulties

but that mediated situations are the source of these kinds of difficulties, supporting theidea that mediated situations induce a loss of contextual information leading to anunderestimation of the time spent by the teammates on the collective task.
