Editors:
- Clarifies the use of the term "script" in education. Theoretically, the term "script" appears to be rather ill-defined
- However, from a cognitive psychology perspective, scripts help individuals to act in and to understand every-day situations
- In computer science, scripts guide users through complex work processes by technically coordinating activities
- Scripts guide cognitive and metacognitive processes in collaborative learning environments. Different objectives automatically imply differences in the activities these scripts try to induce
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book
Research on Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is a multidisciplinary field located at the intersection of cognitive psychology, computer science, and education. Yet, the different epistemological and theoretical backgrounds of these disciplines often make fruitful exchange between them difficult. CSCL urgently needs to develop and use boundary concepts that can bring these fields closer together to improve cumulative research and development of computer-supported learning environments. Scripting Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning focuses on one term with the potential to become a real boundary concept in CSCL—"scripting".
Scripting Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, which has collected advanced script approaches, demonstrates the opportunities for using synergy to apply the script concept between perspectives and interdisciplinary CSCL approaches to scripting.
This volume represents the state of the art of research on scripting computer-supported collaborative learning and provides a starting point for the development of a common understanding of scripting in CSCL. Research on collaboration scripts has an extraordinary potential for advancing the multidisciplinary endeavor of CSCL research and this book provides a rich basis for further exploring and realizing this potential. As such, it will be a valuable resource for research, development, and teaching.
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book splits neatly … with sets of chapters on cognitive, computational and educational perspectives, leading to a very clear-headed interdisciplinary section. … This is an excellent book … . is one for the library." (Mike Johnson, British Journal of Educational Technology, Vol. 39 (5), 2008)
