Architectures for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning
In support of much of our research, we are continuously experimenting with and refining architectures for distributed collaborative learning systems, supporting both synchronous and asynchronous interactions and in some cases including pedagogical agents.
Historically, the Belvedere software has evolved as hybrids of Centralized, Replicated and Distributed architectures. The current hybrid architecture (below) enables "what you model is what I model" synchronization, supporting collaboration through multiple views on the model. Suthers (2001) summarizes this evolution.
We have also worked with other researchers on the feasibillity of component-based learning environments: see Koedinger et al. (1999) and Roschelle et al (1999) below.
