About ijCSCL
The primary aim of the journal is to promote a deeper understanding of the nature, theory and practice of the uses of computer-supported collaborative learning. A main focus is on how people learn in the context of collaborative activity and how to design the technological settings for collaboration.
Peter Reimann (https://www.sydney.edu.au/arts/about/our-people/academic-staff/peter-reimann.html) and Michael Baker (https://www.telecom-paris.fr/michael-baker) have recently taken up the position as new Co-Editors-in-Chief of the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, beginning in January of 2024. Their term will extend for 4 years from that date.
The journal was founded in 2006 by Gerry Stahl (gerrystahl.net), who worked tirelessly to establish the journal as one of the top ranked journals both in Education and in Information Sciences. This journal is his legacy, and we are grateful as a field for his tremendous efforts on our behalf. Four years ago, he stepped down and Sten Ludvigsen (www.uv.uio.no/iped/english/people/aca/stenl) stepped up to lead the journal from its adolescence into its young adult years, with an established process for leadership transitions going forward.
In 2019, Sanna Järvelä and Carolyn Rosé took over from Sten, and had to deal right away with the implications of the Covid pandemic on academic publishing. They shepherded the journal through this difficult time with aplomb and extended the international reach of the journal even further during their tenure. In January 2024, they handed over the editor role to Michael Baker and Peter Reimann.
