Research on collaborative learning is currently a very popular topic in education, psychology and computer science. In recent years, educational research has attempted to determine under what circumstances collaborative learning is more effective than learning alone, and more recently, numerous studies have focused on computer-mediated collaborative learning. In psychology, interest in collaborative learning is related to the emergence of new theories such as 'shared cognition' and 'distributed cognition'. These theories move away from the view traditionally held in cognitive science according to which human cognition is bound inside individual heads. The word 'collaboration' is also used very frequently in computer science to describe the interactions among artificial agents. The term has often been used rather loosely in the different research communities: this book is a contribution towards refining and operationalizing the concept.

Ann Jones, The Open University, Milton Keynes There is no doubt that collaborative learning will continue to be an important area of research for a number of reasons: learning is now viewed as a lifelong activity and increasingly takes place in contexts where learning from interactions with others, whether around technology or through technology, is a vital part of that process. This book plays an important role in documenting and continuing the debate among scientists in two key fields. Computers and Education
