Online Collaborative Learning: Theory and Practice provides a
resource for researchers and practitioners in the area of online
collaborative learning (also known as CSCL, computer-supported
collaborative learning), particularly those working within a
tertiary education environment. It includes articles of relevance
to those interested in both theory and practice in this area. It
attempts to answer such important current questions as: how can
groups with shared goals work collaboratively using the new
technologies? What problems can be expected, and what are the
benefits? In what ways does online group work differ from
face-to-face group work? And what implications are there for both
educators and students seeking to work in this area?
How can assessment practices be used to assist and improve the
learning process? ""Self, Peer and Group Assessment in E-Learning""
attempts to answer this question by bringing together 13
contributions from prominent researchers and practitioners actively
involved in all aspects of self, peer and group assessment in an
online or e-learning environment. It describes the principal
characteristics of self, peer and group assessment, and presents
guidelines for effective implementation, highlighting both benefits
and problems. It also provides examples in a variety of subject
areas from secondary school students in different countries, large
undergraduate classes, and Master's level courses. The primary aim
of ""Self, Peer and Group Assessment in E-Learning"" is to
encourage the development of higher-quality learning and assessment
practices, ones in which the learners themselves assume a greater
responsibility for, and play a more active role in, their own
learning.
Twenty years ago, plagiarism was seen as an isolated misdemeanor,
restricted to a small group of students. Today it is widely
recognized as a ubiquitous, systemic issue, compounded by the
accessibility of content in the virtual environment. Student
Plagiarism in an Online World: Problems & Solutions describes
the legal and ethical issues surrounding plagiarism, the tools and
techniques available to combat the spreading of this problem, and
real-life situational examples to further the understanding of the
scholars, practitioners, educators, and instructional designers who
will find this book an invaluable resource.
