Standards for Collaborative Learning Learners solve an assignment posted by a coach via discussions and gain “problem solving ”skills. Read article Learner B (6)posted by B (5) I think it’s enough to certify congruence between ABC and CDA Learner C (7) ABC is not congruent with CDA Learner A (4) Draw an additional line CD onto the collaborative workplace Collaborative Workplace Learning Resources Communication tool Learner D (8) Any questions? (as you have no prompting) Intelligent agent (3) question to new logged-on user (2) Certify ABC= DEC (1) Assignment: circular angle and triangle similarity (9) Discussion monitoring Coach (10) All learners completed Assignment. Next please.

Summary n n World-wide movements toward LT standards powers/enriches emerging education framework n n Standards provides more abstract and humancentered view of computer technology Japanese contribution required!! n Standards are not given but to be developed
