Springer International Handbook of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning: 19

From the Back Cover CSCL has in the past 15 years (and often in conjunction with Springer) grown into a thriving and active community. Yet, lacking is a comprehensive CSCL handbook that displays the range of research being done in this area. This handbook will provide an overview of the diverse aspects of the field, allowing newcomers to develop a sense of the entirety of CSCL research and for existing community members to become more deeply aware of work outside their direct area. The handbook will also serve as a ready reference for foundational concepts, methods, and approaches in the field. The chapters are written in such a way that each of them can be used in a stand-alone fashion while also serving as introductory readings in relevant study courses or in teacher education. While some CSCL-relevant topics are addressed in the International Handbook of the Learning Sciences and the International Handbook of Collaborative Learning, these books do not aim to present an integrated and comprehensive view of CSCL. The International Handbook of Computer- Supported Collaborative Learning covers all relevant topics in CSCL, particularly recent developments in the field, such as the rise of computational approaches and learning analytics.

Review “For emerging and mid-career scholars interested in contributing further to CSCL, this volume offers rich uptake opportunities. Scholars can value this volume for its integrative internationalism and rigor in attending to intellectual history; these characteristics signal that this is the kind of intellectual community worth belonging to. Scholars can refer to this volume for its high-quality consensus summaries across all key CSCL topics, including theory, processes, technologies, and methods.” (Jeremy Roschelle, International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, Vol. 15, 2020) About the Author Ulrike Cress is director of the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (Knowledge Media Research Center) and professor at the University of Tübingen. She studied psychology in Tuebingen, Germany, did a dissertation about self-regulated learning and got a venia legendi for psychology with a work on the information-exchange dilemma. With her lab "knowledge construction" she is doing research on learning with digital media in formal settings as well as in informal settings. She is especially interested in mass collaboration, and much of her research aims to further develop the Co-Evolution Model of Individual Learning and Collaborative Knowledge Building, which she presented in 2008. She published more than 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and about 100 book chapters and contributions to conference proceedings. Since 2015 she is one of the fo
