Designing for Change in Networked Learning Environments
CSCL 2003 is the fifth international CSCL conference and will be held in Bergen, Norway, on
June 14-18, 2003. The conference will be co-organised by InterMedia, University of Bergen
and InterMedia, University of Oslo.
The theme emphasizes the relationships between three aspects of networked learning environments:
Pedagogical design of learning environments
Improvements and innovations in learning technologies
Analysis and evaluation of collaborative activities in co-located and distributed environments.
CSCL is a
genuinely interdisciplinary field which strives to create a
better understanding of collaborative learning that is mediated by a diverse
set of computational technologies. Research that is able to combine and
synthesize the different aspects of technology supported collaborative
learning is what gives the CSCL community its colourful and special
characteristic. We especially invite contributions that attempt to cross
boundaries by successfully demonstrating the integration of the different
aspects of CSCL.
The CSCL conference is a major international event that gathers people
involved in all aspects of the field of CSCL, including research, education,
training and technology extensions. Accordingly, CSCL 2003 invites
participation from
researchers and students,
designers,
