    Towards scalable collaborative learning flow pattern orchestration technologies
    (IATED, 2017) Manathunga, K; Hernández Leo
    Collaborative Learning Flow Patterns (CLFPs) structure learning flows to shape desired social interactions among learners leading to fruitful learning gains. It is worthwhile to study the possibilities of CLFP extensions to be applicable in large class contexts and also in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) considering their dynamic, unpredictable nature. This study considers most commonly used patterns for the adaptability in such contexts from different dimensions like pedagogical interest, scalability and other related perspectives. As a result derived from the analysis, a collection of use cases is elaborated illustrating potential collaborative learning opportunities, design requirements, initial screen designs of such activities and expected functionality descriptions for novel CSCL orchestration technologies. One of these use cases is implemented in the PyramidApp tool.

    Sustaining continuous collaborative learning flows in MOOCs: orchestration agent approach
    (Graz University of Technology. Institut für Informationssysteme und Computer Medien (IICM), 2018) Amarasinghe, I; Hernández Leo, D; Manathunga, K; Jonsson, A
    Collaborative learning spaces deployed in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide productive social learning opportunities. However, sustaining collaboration in these spaces is challenging. This paper provides a classification of MOOCs participants based on their behavior in a structured collaborative learning space. This analysis leads to requirements for new technological interventions to orchestrate collaborative learning flows in MOOCs. The paper proposes the design of an intelligent agent to address these requirements and reports a study which shows that the intervention of the proposed orchestration agent in a MOOC facilitates to maintain continuous yet meaningful collaboration learning flows.
