Can Computer Supported Collaborative Learning help to fulfil
the VirClass goal?
Grete Oline Hole, HiB
Side 2
Pedagogical view• Constructivist and socio-cultural and
understanding of knowledge. • Task oriented and problem solving methods
of teaching and learning • Learner centred, • Learning object and task/assignments
structured to activate students in their learning process.
• Interaction, discussion and cooperation

Didactical Model (the diamond)
Bjørndal & Lieberg, 1978
Side 5
All influence each other:
• Object/aim of course
• Learning materials
• Methods
• Students’ goals
• Type of assignment
• Type of assessment
• Knowledge in beforehand….

Virtual Learning Environment: • Provides the “online” interactions of various
kinds which can take place between learners and tutors
• Secure, due to password protection• Control access to a curriculum, mapped to
elements that can be separately assessed and recorded
• Track student activity and achievement• Allow tutors to set up a course with
materials and activities to direct, guide and monitor learner progress
Side 8
A VLE:
• Support online learning, – include access to learning resources,
assessment and guidance• Communication (between learner, tutor and
other) provide – support/ feedback for learners,– peer-group communications that build a
sense of group identity and community of interest
• Links to other resources, both in-house and externally
Side 9
Within a VLE (cont):• Often two views of the system, one for the
tutors and one for the student (= shared workplace)
• Browser based and use web technologies, – But: do not require knowledge of HTML in
order to use/contribute content • ”Anytime, anywhere”,(”7/24/365”) access
due to the use of web technology– The students dream; the teachers
nightmare, beware of that
Side 10
MLE
• Managed Learning Environment – refers to the whole range of
information systems and processes of a college
– (including its VLE if it has one) – that contribute directly, or indirectly– to learning and the management of
that learning
Side 11
A MLE:
• Focus on college processes and standards, not software products
• A framework for choices about
– software
– training
– support for learners and tutors
• Link together VLE (which deliver and track online-learning) with the Student Records System (SRS)
Side 12
• How can VLE help us fulfil our goal?
Side 13
Different view on ICT in learning
• CAI: Computer Assisted Instruction
• ITS: Intelligent Tutoring Systems
• CSCL:
– knowledge constructed in a social process
Side 14
Learning with ICT:
• Emphasize the socio-cognitive impact of teachers and learners working in partnership with technology:
• From studying the effects of the computer to focus on learning with the computer
• (and: through the computer)
Side 15
Achieve the political goals of Life Long Learning and Lisboa agenda:
(From the call for proposals/ other
EU-learning documents, and from our application)
Side 16
• Instructional design that integrate the potential of eLearing, linked to the objectives of the course
• Strengthen the link between research and education
• Share and reuse the learning content.
• Stimulate development of high quality service, group tutoring/coaching, CSCL, assessment, digital portfolio, virtual learning communities….
Side 17
• ICT has a potential to connect people across borders for collaboration and to make knowledge more accessible and sharable for advanced teaching and learning.-
• Common curricula, multilateral teaching offers, resource saving collaboration, common system of acknowledging degrees are important
Side 18
• Networks that deliver joint courses, programmes and services to the students in a Lifelong open and a flexible learning context
• Promote virtual mobility, (virtual learning communities, mobility in the framework of joint courses and curricula)….
