Designing and Implementing a CSCL-based Course on the Data Security of a Wireless Learning Environment

2012

This article reports on a design-based research (DBR) process for designing and implementing a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) course on the data security of wireless learning environments. The study focuses on examining how university students practice data security when learning on a wireless campus, how data security aspects appear in this study and how students perceive the role of data security in CSCL. The research subjects included six pilot students and eight students enrolled in the course. To promote the reliability of the findings, various kinds of data were used. The data was analysed following the grounded theory approach. The results suggest that data security…

Co-sensing and co-shaping as shared and relational practices in bringing about relational leaders in higher education

2021

AbstractThe aim of this article is to investigate how and what kinds of relational and shared practices were co-created within a multicultural team in a higher education collaborative learning environment. The students interacted while working towards the shared goal of co-constructing knowledge. The study provides insight into how student teams can actively build collaboration in learning spaces through manifesting relational leadership. Shared and relational practices refer broadly to all the knowledge, attitudes and skills that emerge from team interaction. A compound theoretical framework combining relational leadership and leadership trichotomy was adapted to study what particular fact…

Turning social inclusion into exclusion during collaborative between students with and without SEN

2023

Creating opportunities for meaningful social relationships between students with and without special educational needs (SEN) through collaborative learning has been suggested as a way to facilitate all students’ social inclusion in classroom activities. However, little attention has been given to the peer interaction processes leading to unsuccessful knowledge co-creation in mixed-ability peer groups including students with and without SEN. This study addressed this research gap by conducting detailed observational analyses of the social exclusion during group work of students with and without SEN, and how the students with SEN responded to their positioning as unequal learning partners. Th…

“I felt a bit nervous” : Virtual Exchange as an emotional journey

2021

Virtual Exchange is a collective term for a set of collaborative online learning practices that cut across institutional, cultural, and international borders. Moving outside their learning environments, the participants engage in project work with foreign peers. The teams have to work across time zones, use foreign languages, manage cultural differences and apply digital tools for communication and collaboration. The virtual projects enhance the development of transversal work/life skills, which are an asset in today’s global labour market. The aim of the present study is to explore the emotional trajectory of Virtual Exchange based on the students’ e-portfolios. By analysing the self-evalu…

Nuove strategie per il bene collettivo: crowdfunding civico al Parco Uditore di Palermo

2015

Il tema del crowdfunding civico riguarda la partecipazione pubblica alla gestione del territorio. In particolare, la possibilità di attuare meccanismi di finanziamento autonomi e autogestiti per la realizzazione di opere pubbliche (seppure di limitata entità) costringe gli amministratori e i tecnici a confrontarsi con l’avvenuta conquista, da parte della cittadinanza, di una parte del potere decisionale. Quanto è opportuno che gli esiti della consultazione pubblica abbiano un canale di finanziamento specifico? Quali garanzie del processo partecipativo sono necessarie perché le richieste dei cittadini siano coerenti con le linee generali della pianificazione locale e sovralocale, e si possan…

In addition, we studied all internship documents that the ten students produced during the internship period. The students are in practical training at their own school with their own students and collaborate with each other to strengthen their own teacher …
