Kooperatives Lernen in Videokonferenzen

Videoconferencing is expected to become increasingly important for
tele-learning environments. This study investigates how to foster
cooperative learning through videoconferencing. The selected
learning environment was a peer-teaching scenario, which required
the learners to teach one another theories. In this study the
effects of different types of support for this cooperation were
investigated. The main focus is on how both (1) content schemes and
(2) cooperation scripts enhance the construction of shared external
representations and foster learning outcomes. The results indicate
that content schemes as well as cooperation scripts foster the
construction of shared external representations. Furthermore, the
learners with a cooperation script had higher learning outcomes
than those learners without a cooperation script
