The first is that the learning landscape is extraordinarily turbulent at present, in no small part due to technological drivers. Online social learning is emerging as a significant phenomenon for a variety of reasons, which we review, in order to motivate the concept of social learning. The second challenge is to identify different types of SLA and ...

It is argued that a design priority is to balance formal expressiveness with usability, making it critical to co-evolve the modelling

By way of a specifically designed ontology, this structure is applied as annotation to other forms of meeting capture, such as audio and video recordings, and further employed to navigate between and through these resources.

Particular attention is given to the challenge of negotiating the overheads of capturing this

The problem of maintaining coherence in a distributed system is of central interest to us. We focus on the notion of representational coherence,

Capturing deliberation along collaborative decision-making processes is a challenging task. Several stakeholders deliberate in different moments, trying to accomplish different tasks, collaborating and communicating with different people and working in different environments. Knowledge derived from parallel processes,

In particular we discuss the integration between a tool ( CoPe_it! ) supporting collaborative argumentation and learning in web-based Communities of Practices and a hypermedia and sense making tool ( Compendium ) acting as a personal and collective Knowledge Management (KM) system in traditional collaborative

The vehicle we use to conduct this research is the Digital Document Discourse Environment (D3E). D3E is an experimental system supporting the publication of web- based documents with integrated discourse facilities and embedded
