Abstract

Despite a great potential, on-line collaborative learning do not yet have the impact that many believe is possible. In particular, collaborative learning approaches cannot be applied in every e-learning experience because they require people’s presence and/or collaboration is difficult to achieve. In addition, collaborative learning systems often lack of challenging resources to support the collaboration, making the collaborative experience unattractive, which discourages progression. As a result, collaborative learning resources lack of authentic interactivity, social identity, user empowerment and challenge, thus having a negative effect in learner motivation and engagement. To overcome these deficiencies, we propose to leverage the knowledge elicited during live collaborative sessions in order to produce interactive and attractive resources to be played by learners. Learners will observe how avatars discuss and collaborate and how knowledge is constructed, refined and consolidated.
