TLDR
Online discussion in CSCL appeared to compensate for suboptimal timing of presentation of supportive information before the learning task clusters in IDLM, which led to better results than personal discussion.Abstract:
This study used a sequential set-up to investigate the consecutive effects of timing of supportive information presentation (information before vs. information during the learning task clusters) in interactive digital learning materials (IDLMs) and type of collaboration (personal discussion vs. online discussion) in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) on student knowledge construction. Students (N = 87) were first randomly assigned to the two information presentation conditions to work individually on a case-based assignment in IDLM. Students who received information during learning task clusters tended to show better results on knowledge construction than those who received information only before each cluster. The students within the two separate information presentation conditions were then randomly assigned to pairs to discuss the outcomes of their assignments under either the personal discussion or online discussion condition in CSCL. When supportive information had been presented before each learning task cluster, online discussion led to better results than personal discussion. When supportive information had been presented during the learning task clusters, however, the online and personal discussion conditions had no differential effect on knowledge construction. Online discussion in CSCL appeared to compensate for suboptimal timing of presentation of supportive information before the learning task clusters in IDLM.read more

Facilitating argumentative knowledge construction through a transactive discussion script in CSCL
TL;DR: The results showed that the transactive discussion script facilitates argumentative knowledge construction during discourse and learners assigned to the scripted condition acquired significantly more domain-specific and domain-general knowledge on argumentation than learners assign to the unscripted condition.

TL;DR: The authors examined challenges inherent in multicultural student group work (MCSG) in higher education and the differences between students from different cultural backgrounds in how they perceive the importance of challenges in MCSG.

Relations between scripted online peer feedback processes and quality of written argumentative essay
TL;DR: The findings reveal that successful students and groups differ in terms of their feedback quality than less-successfulStudents and groups, which implies that when students engage in high-quality, elaborated and justified peer feedback processes, they write high- quality argumentative essays.

Cognitive load during problem solving: Effects on learning
TL;DR: It is suggested that a major reason for the ineffectiveness of problem solving as a learning device, is that the cognitive processes required by the two activities overlap insufficiently, and that conventional problem solving in the form of means-ends analysis requires a relatively large amount of cognitive processing capacity which is consequently unavailable for schema acquisition.

Cognitive Architecture and Instructional Design
TL;DR: Cognitive load theory has been designed to provide guidelines intended to assist in the presentation of information in a manner that encourages learner activities that optimize intellectual performance as discussed by the authors, which assumes a limited capacity working memory that includes partially independent subcomponents to deal with auditory/verbal material and visual/2- or 3-dimensional information as well as an effectively unlimited long-term memory, holding schemas that vary in their degree of automation.

TL;DR: For instance, Craik and Lockhart as discussed by the authors explored the levels of processing framework for human memory research and found that deeper encodings took longer to accomplish and were associated with higher levels of performance on the subsequent memory test.
