Cool Modes: Cooperative Modeling in
Visual Language Environments
Interactive Event at CSCL 2003Andreas Harrer, Niels Pinkwart, Ulrich Hoppe COLLIDE Research Group, Universitat Duisburg-Essen, Germany AbstractThis interactive event will focus on computational modelling tools as media for infusing innovative learning scenarios. The learner has the opportunity to explore concepts of different domains through interaction with other learners in a distributed computer-supported learning setting. In these learning scenarios, we are using tools that support both free hand input which is not interpreted by the computer together with computer-interpretable “visual modelling languages” or “microworlds” (Pinkwart, et al., 2002). This scenarios are not only of interest for virtual learning applications but also for face-to-face classrooms with networked computing facilities. Ubiquitous computing technology with specialised devices such as big interactive screens (whiteboards) or pen-based tablet computers will be used in practical scenarios.We will show the possible use of these tools and suitable technology in two different domains of expertise and with different modes of interaction between the users: On the one hand in the context of stochastics exploring the famous “birthday problem” cooperatively, on the other hand in a competitive scenario in the domain of seismic activities, where the center of earthquakes has to be determined.
