A Methodological Proposal to Analyse Interactions in Online Collaborative Learning Environments

Interaction analysis within online educational contexts based on collaborative learning strategies requires a multidimensional model taking into account social, emotional and cognitive components. Starting from the assumption that only through correlation of these three dimensions it’s possible to capture and understand the generative processes of learning in CSCL, this research is aimed at studying the existing analysis models (generally one- or bidimensional) and developing a new integrated model to investigate how these dimensions concur to the achievement of relevant learning within online educational contexts. The analysis is retrospective and carried out within several contexts.
