International Handbook of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning | 1:a upplagan

CSCL has in the past 15 years (and often in conjunction with Springer) grown into a thriving and active community. Yet, lacking is a comprehensive CSCL handbook that displays the range of research being done in this area. This handbook will provide an overview of the diverse aspects of the field, allowing newcomers to develop a sense of the entirety of CSCL research and for existing community member to become more deeply aware of work outside their direct area. The handbook will also serve as a ready reference for foundational concepts, methods, and approaches in the field. The chapters are written in such a way that each of them can be used in a stand-alone fashion while also serving as introductory readings in relevant study courses or in teacher education. While some CSCL-relevant topics are addressed in the International Handbook of the Learning Sciences and the International Handbook of Collaborative Learning, these books do not aim to present an integrated and comprehensive view of CSCL. The International Handbook of Computer- Supported Collaborative Learning  covers all relevant topics in CSCL, particularly recent developments in the field, such as the rise of computational approaches and learning analytics.

• Provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse aspects of the field of computer-supported collaborative learning useful for newcomers or experts.
• Serves as a ready reference for foundational concepts, methods, and approaches in the field.
• Integrates myriad research perspectives, including but not limited to learning sciences, education, computer science, computational linguistics, psychology, and sociology.
• Speaks to a wide, growing, and international community of CSCL researchers.
