Abstract
Our goal is to build a platform for
collaboration analysis in CSCL. We propose an integrated ontology for defining collaborative
learning experiences and for analysing their processes and results. The
identification of the main elements and the relationships amongst them based on
the Activity Theory with some extensions for providing functionality for real
computational applications. We detail the knowledge about analysis, the way of
representing new methods in our ontology and also explain a new analysis method
with the ontological approach, applied to the DEGREE system.
