Question 3. Provide specific examples of how CSCL instructional approaches might be implemented in K-12, higher education, or corporate environments.
Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning CSCL consist of the use of technology to support the students in their learning activities and it has a solid base in collaborative learning environment (Barros-Castro, Cordoba-Pachon, & Pinzon-Salcedo, 2014) In this world of constant changes people are using computers to help them in various ways. It is not different in the educational system, in that system computer-supported learning is in the center of the learning environment of k-12 it can be implemented to support learning. For example: Using computers in the classroom, teachers can help students work together in front of a computer with the computer acting as a tool to support face-to-face collaboration. Talking about collaboration Spector et al. (2014) explains: “Collaboration can be encouraged through appropriate tasks and communication technology”. (Spector et al., 2014 p. 406). Additionally, students can work from a distance as liberty uses computers or other devices as mediation tools for communication and digital learning. Teachers also can use platforms to organize learning, or as authoring tools for building knowledge. One example of a platform is Khanacadem.org it has a premade flipped classroom that could be integrated into any classroom. They premade videos for free, all the k-12 topics, including computer programming, hour of Code, Computer science and Computer animation. To conclude, organizations likewise can create a work-based learning culture that includes informal structures to support the explicit design of learning. The organization can motive a culture of sharing knowledge trough social media and sharing collaborative learning focused on people. Stahl and Hesse (2006) argued “Collaborative learning is distinguished from organizational learning and individual learning by the knowledge that develops through interactions within groups that are supported by Social Media or other interactive technology” (Stahl, G., & Hesse, F. (2006). References Barros-Castro, R.A., Córdoba-Pachón, J.R. & Pinzón-Salcedo, L.A.
