Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning in Higher Education ebookGdown.org > Reference Documentation > General While many educators assume that computer-aided learning tends to serve the needs of individual students working at the primary, elementary and secondary levels, in fact it is popular in higher education and in collaborative learning situations. Roberts (Central Queensland U.) and his contributors cover a variety of aspects of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) in higher education in an effort to inform researchers and educators, particularly in tertiary education environments. They describe how CSCL affects online group projects, network considerations of time and place, collective building of knowledge, and interactions and socio-economic qualities in small groups. They address adult and collaborative learning theory, pitfalls, portfolio preparation, and effective instances of CSCL usage.
