Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)

This area looks at how collaborative learning activities can be augmented with environment-aware applications. The objective is to study the different methods for obtaining and processing location data of a group of people who are working together in a same room with their respective mobile devices (e.g. laptops). This location information can be transformed into contextual information (e.g. emergence of groups, roles) that inform CSCL applications about the organization of the physical environment.
