Collaborative learning flow pattern

Draft

Definition

Collaborative Learning Flow Patterns (CLFP) allow identification and formalization of common practices in collaborative learning. “CLFPs describe well-accepted ways of arranging participants in collaborative learning sessions, sequencing types of collaborative learning activities, assigning contents to those activities, etc. CLFPs can be used to identify common types of collaborative learning activities that might potentially be mapped onto CSCL reusable functional blocks.” (Bote-Lorenzo et al. 2004).
