Full Description:: Technology-enhanced classrooms or distributed learning environments are becoming increasingly complex ecosystems, which may include VLEs, Web 2.0 tools, 3D worlds, or tangible artefacts, either digital or not. Orchestration of such collaborative ecosystems is challenging, since it may require creation and flexible deployment of learning designs or real-time class monitoring and management. This seminar presents a view of conceptual and technological tools that may support teachers in orchestrating Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) classes. It will draw on data from two years of field studies in a primary classroom, as well as professional development workshops and field studies with university teachers, where these conceptual and technological tools have been employed.
