CSCL Community

CSCL Community Governance

The CSCL Community consists of ISLS members who are particularly interested in issues related to Computer Support for Collaborative Learning. The CSCL Community is represented by the CSCL Committee comprising 12 members and chaired by two co-chairs, currently Carol Chan and Michelle Lui . The members of the committee are elected by the members of the CSCL Community. Every two years six committee members (including one of the co-chairs) are elected for a four-year term. The CSCL Committee works to strengthen the international CSCL Community as part of ISLS, working with the ISLS board and the other committees on CSCL affairs, including the CSCL Conferences and the ijCSCL journal.

History

A Steering Committee of the CSCL Community was formed on June 16, 2003, at an open meeting of ISLS at the CSCL 2003 conference in Bergen, Norway.

The following Resolution of the CSCL Community was formulated and signed by participants at CSCL ’03:

A growing international, interdisciplinary CSCL community has been successful in organizing a series of well-attended and highly valued international conferences. To continue this and to further develop the core mission of this community, an organizational framework is necessary. The attendants of the CSCL 2003 conference in Bergen, Norway, see a good way to do this under the organizational umbrella of the newly formed International Society for the Learning Sciences (ISLS). Condition for doing this is that the community keeps the responsibility for such core issues as:

  • Organizing the CSCL conferences
  • Working to found a new CSCL journal
  • Financial arrangements

As a first step, an initial steering group should be established as a committee of ISLS to work on these points as well as other relevant organizational issues in good collaboration with the established bodies of ISLS.
