Specifying computer-supported collaboration scripts 5

12 Abstract Collaboration scripts facilitate social and cognitive processes of collaborative 13 learning by shaping the way learners interact with each other. Computer-supported 14 collaboration scripts generally suffer from the problem of being restrained to a specific 15 learning platform. A standardization of collaboration scripts first requires a specification of 16 collaboration scripts that integrates multiple perspectives from computer science, education 17 and psychology. So far, only few and limited attempts at such specifications have been 18 made. This paper aims to consolidate and expand these approaches in light of recent 19 findings and to propose a generic framework for the specification of collaboration scripts. 20 The framework enables a description of collaboration scripts using a small number of 21 components (participants, activities, roles, resources and groups) and mechanisms (task 22 distribution, group formation and sequencing).
