Abstract

This paper describes a proposal for a new method to assess communication among learners in the CSCL. The method proposed in this paper is to visualize discussions by focusing on the relationship between topic keywords and each learner using a correspondence analysis. In this paper, the authors introduce an implementation of prototype tool in our research. The correspondence map made by the analysis could represent topic parts and learners f commitment in the learning community, according to interviews with Japanese and foreign learners. Also the map has a potentiality to help learners engage in active discussions by providing the reflection of their own interest or that of others. Authors have already examined the validity and possibility of a proposed method, through an experimental study in a cross-cultural CSCL program.
