This volume presents research findings on the use of technology to support learning and reasoning in collaborative contexts. Featuring a variety of theoretical perspectives, ranging from sociocultural to social psychological to information processing views, Collaborative Learning, Reasoning, and Technology includes an international group of authors well known for their contributions to research on technology learning environments.

Two themes are central: the use of technology as a scaffold for learning, and the use of technology to promote argumentation and reasoning. Collaboration among peers is a key element in both of these strands. These foci highlight, respectively, a key element in the design of technology-based learning environments and a key outcome that can result from online instruction/learning. As a whole, the volume addresses some of the core issues in using technology to support collaborative learning, reasoning, and argumentation.

Industry Reviews

"This book nicely portrays the gamut of ways in which technology (and Web-based online software in particular) can enhance discourse between students and teachers and the development of higher level learning....provides many innovative ways to get learners to collaborate for the common good of advancing personal and collective knowledge."
-PsycCRITIQUES

This is a meaty and stimulating collection that grapples with the heart of what many of us aspire to witness in learners when we try to get them working together through or at computers." -- Mike Johnson, British Journal of Educational Technology, July 2007.
