Community - Euro CSCL
This web site serves as a community site and resource of information for practitioners (teachers), researchers and school administrators in Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) field. Here you can find news and best practices from CSCL community, links to CSCL research, information about CSCL software tools and have discussions with other members of the community.
The www.euro-cscl.org website has been initiated by ITCOLE (Innovative Technologies for Collaborative Learning and Knowledge Building) project. The project is funded by The European Commission in the Information Society Technologies (IST) framework; IST-00-III.2 'School of Tomorrow'.
The members of the community are the authors of the website. The members may post news to the website, share their best experiences of practicing CSCL in education by posting descriptions of their school projects, propose information about different CSCL software tools and have discussions. All the news items and articles of the Idea Bank posted to the website are edited and published by the editors selected from the people actively participating in euro-cscl.org web site.

TEACHING AND LEARNING VIRTUAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
Description
Deep learning. Effective teaching. What are they and how do we achieve them? What difference can instructional technologies make? These most fundamental questions are increasingly being asked by faculty members and technological consultants in and outside the academy. They are the baseline questions this community of practice will explore, together as novices and experts. Using the experiences
Update
This VCOP has recruiting some 20 highly qualified and enthusiastic educators from institutions throughout the U.S. and Canada to serve as its core members and is also gathering account requests from other future community members. Facilitators also developed a list of core topic areas (with related sub-topics) that will help guide the process of finalizing the community?s goals and objectives. We will be talking to a wider audience of experts next week relating to the conceptual mapping of the site. This preliminary design of the communal space will be ready for review by core members at the January meeting.
Please remember to register and login.

New on June 5th 2003. And now the weblog! We've created an information literacy weblog and have been adding entries for a bit more than a month, so you'll get a feel for what kinds of information and ideas we'll be putting up. Please comment, and if you want to contribute a weblog entry - just get in touch! New on May 12th 2003. I have updated the "Organisations" page and made a few updates to some other pages (e.g. events, also updated at the start of June).

Website - Information Literacy (Learning Teaching Resources)
This page lists organisations or resources which are useful starting points for those interested in learning and teaching. We do not aim to identify all the material that people have written to teach information literacy, but will provide a few links to descriptions of (assessed) classes which deal with information literacy in depth.
This is Sheffield's Information Studies Department's website. Check out the resources.

Academia - Papers from Gerry
Gerry Stahl
Here is a collection of writings on issues of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). They were written primarily by one person during the decade from 1993 to 2003, but they represent the collaborative efforts of many and reflect the current concerns of the field. They are grouped into Sections on empirical analysis, system design, theoretical framework and practical application, although they are inherently interwoven. Each was written for a particular occasion with a unique focus, but questions in one paper emerge from and anticipate ideas in others.
