Collaborative Learning Innovations: Advancing Educational Technology at Fraunhofer IPSI

Martin Wessner, head of the CONCERT research group at Fraunhofer IPSI in Darmstadt, Germany, leads a team focused on the intersection of Computer Science, Educational Science, and Psychology. Since 2001, his group has been at the forefront of research in Computer-Supported Cooperative Learning (CSCL) and E-Learning, developing projects like VITAL and the L³-Cooperation Platform. Key areas include fostering contextual cooperation in learning environments and effective group formation strategies. The team's innovative approach integrates advanced tools for collaborative education, promoting both individual and communal learning experiences.

Formerly: GMD-IPSI

  2. The CONCERT research group • Research areas: CSCW – CSCL – E-Learning • Recent projects: • Distributed CSCL: Clear (VITAL, CROCODILE), L³-Lifelong Learning (L³ Cooperation Platform) • Colocated CSCL: ConcertStudeo, Digital Moderation • Approach: Contextual Cooperation • - Course Model -> Learn Logistics • - Task Model/Instructional Design -> Process Support • - Learner Model -> Group Formation

  3. ConcertChat • Enhanced Chat: • References to other Contributions • References to material • Process Support • Typed contributions • Configurable roles • Process Support

  4. ConcertStudeo • Face-to-Face Cooperation: • Interactive Whiteboards and PDAs • Integration of cooperation and material • Spontaneous & intended cooperation • Tools: Quiz, Brainstorming, Voting, Ranking

  5. L³ Cooperation Platform • Individual learning & spontaneous cooperation with tutor or peers • Courses contain Points of Cooperation (PoC) • After a student reaches a PoC the system supports group formation (manual or automatic) and joint execution using generic or specific tools • PoC types: Discussion, Textwork, Brainstorming, Pro-Con-Dispute etc.
