Abstract: In this research we are aiming at supporting complex instructional design (ID) process for CSCL environment. To fulfill the aim we have been constructing an ontology to represent computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) session. The ontology will work as both vocabulary to describe the session and design pattern referred to during the instructional design process. In this paper, we describe the ID process for CSCL, our approach to support it, and propose the ID support environment with some repositories whose data are described by common vocabulary. We show part of vocabulary and design patterns based on our Collaborative Learning Ontology as examples. Then we introduce an ID support tool using the repositories as an example. The tool will help human users to analyze complex interaction process in collaborative learning.
