Roles Starter: start off the discussion, give new impulses every time the discussions slack off Moderator: monitor the discussions, stimulate other students, ask critical questions, inquire for opinions Theoretician: bring in theory, ensure all relevant theoretical concepts are used in the discusion Source searcher: seek external information on the topics, go beyond the scope of course reader Summarizer: post interim summaries, make provisional conclusions, post final summary Facilitating and analysing roles in computer supported collaborative learning • EARLI 2007 Symposium Bram De Wever, Tammy Schellens, Hilde Van Keer, & Martin Valcke • Ghent University

Conclusion of the first study
All students perform their roles Some activities receive more attention and some activities less (dependent of the different roles) “Assigning roles is a fruitful scripting approach” Facilitating and analysing roles in computer supported collaborative learning • EARLI 2007 Symposium Bram De Wever, Tammy Schellens, Hilde Van Keer, & Martin Valcke • Ghent University

Level 1: sharing/comparing of information Level 2: the discovery and exploration of dissonance or inconsistency among ideas, concepts or statements Level 3: negotiation of meaning / co-construction of knowledge Level 4: testing and modification of proposed synthesis or co-construction Level 5: agreement statement(s) / applications of newly constructed meaning Facilitating and analysing roles in computer supported collaborative learning • EARLI 2007 Symposium Bram De Wever, Tammy Schellens, Hilde Van Keer, & Martin Valcke • Ghent University

Conclusion of the second study
Role/No-Role condition reaches significantly higher levels of knowledge construction in two themes Even when the role support is cut back “The moment of role introduction is important: introduce roles at the start” Facilitating and analysing roles in computer supported collaborative learning • EARLI 2007 Symposium Bram De Wever, Tammy Schellens, Hilde Van Keer, & Martin Valcke • Ghent University
