To see the world and a
grain of sand: Learning across levels of space, time, and scale”
inspired by (and modified from) William Blake’s poem “Auguries of
Innocence” reflects the unique aspect of CSCL in which interactions and
learning need to be understood, supported and analyzed at multiple
levels. The attention to the theoretical, methodological and
technological issues of addressing research at multiple levels is
highly relevant to current research in CSCL, as well as to developing
an emerging understanding of the epistemological and methodological
issues that will shape our intellectual efforts well into the
future.
CSCL is a major international event, organized
biennially by ISLS, which gathers together people involved in all
aspects of the field of technology-based collaborative learning,
including research, education, training and technology. CSCL invites
papers on the nature of collaborative learning in technologically
supported environments from empirical, theoretical, conceptual and
design based perspectives.

Program
New for CSCL 2013: Interactive Sesson Format!
The interactive session format for papers has been designed as a
collaborative format particularly for the CSCL conference to allow for
maximum interaction and discussion between authors and audience, in the
spirit of collaborative learning! In every interactive session, each of
four presenters will give a brief 10-minute presentation, followed by
50 minutes of interaction at distributed stations. During this time,
authors might bring questions to discuss with members of the audience,
or bring supplementary materials for people to see, touch, and play
with at their station.
