    Welcome to the companion website to our ELI presentation on Assessing Learning Spaces. We have made many of our instruments and resources available for your reference. However, since we have worked in cooperation with several institutions and modified their instruments for our use, we'd ask that you contact them directly to get permission to do the same. The San José State University Academic Success Center opened in October 2006 with a goal to increase student success by providing 21st-century technology, informal and formal learning spaces, and the services and support. The objective was to build an integrative center that provides students with an innovative space and technology tools for collaboration and promotes faculty pedagogical innovation through the use of our Incubator Classroom, winner of the 2007 Campus Technology Innovators Award. By combining physical space, technology tools, and an intensive professional development program, the ASC exemplifies a new synergistic model for the campus.

  • design of computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments
  • Participation in progressive inquiry is facilitated by asking a user who is preparing a discussion message to categorize the message by choosing a "category of inquiry scaffold" (e.g., Problem, Working theory, Summary) corresponding to the PI-Model (based on the practices of Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1993). These scaffolds are designed to encourage students to engage in expert-like processing of knowledge; they help to move beyond simple question-answer discussion and elicit practices of progressive inquiry.
  • ther important aspect of inquiry, and a critical condition of developing conceptual understanding, is generation of one’s own working theories — one’s conjectures, hypotheses, theories or interpretations — for the phenomena being investigated (Carey & Smith, 1995; Perkins, Crismond, Simmons, & Under, 1995; Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1993).
  • Through evaluating whether and how well the working theories explain the chosen problems, the learning community seeks to assess strengths and the weaknesses of different explanations and identify contradictory explanations, gaps of knowledge, and limitations of the power of intuitive explanation
  • Progressive discourse occurs, for instance, in the sciences demonstarting both accumulation and deepening of knowledge.
  • Each question opened one knowledge-buiding thread, e.g., "How does the new information and communication technology support development of students’ expertise in different contexts?" or "What kind of new pedagogical problems may emerge in networked learning environments?"
  • Specific problems addressed included the following: 1) What is the nature of KB messages produced by the participants? 2) How does the KB represent the model of progressive inquiry? 3) How did the students used the scaffolds provided by the FLE-Tools?
  • During the nine-week course the students posted 125 messages.
  • The postings to the database KB Module constitute the data analyzed in this study. The database material was analyzed with qualitative and quantitative methods in order to evaluate the process of knowledge advancement. The methods applied to analyzing the date aim at providing a richer view on the content and the progression of the discussion (see Chi, 1997).
  • ded to elicit in-depth inquiry
  • The following categories of inquiry scaffolds were also used to analyze how the students categorized their messages: Problem, Working theory, Deepening knowledge, Comment, Metacomment, and Summary (Help has been left out of the analysis because it was not used by the students)
  • To analyze the reliability of segmentation, an independent coder classified approximately 15 percent of the messages. The inter-coder reliability was .91, indicating that the reliability of segmentation was satisfactory.
  • each segment or idea was classified according to five principal "idea categories" identified in the coding process: Problem, Working theory, Scientific explanation, Metacomment, and Quote of another student’s idea. All of the propositions fitted in these five categories of ideas, which were regarded to be mutually exclusive.
  • database was considered to show remarkable connectedness (Hewitt, 1996).
  • FLE-Tools environment was used in a pilot course to facilitate progressive inquiry in university education
  • The students were asked to categorize their posting to the database by using a set of cognitive scaffolds. However, the content analysis indicated that the students' productions often did not correspond with the scaffold they chose. The students showed a bias for selecting a Category of Inquiry
  • A thematic analysis of the discussion suggested that a tutor's "just-in-time" participation could have significantly changed this pattern, judging from the evaluations and reflections of the students.
  • First, although the students were introduced the PI-Mode
  • Second, it is possible that it is not natural for the students to partition their posting in a way that corresponds to the given scaffolds; the students wrote rather long entries (often half a page) in which they set up as well as explained their problems.

    The design of a web-based, networked learning environment, Future Learning Environment Tools (FLE-Tools) embodies a model of progressive inquiry. In this paper, we introduce the progressive inquiry model and describe how different modules FLE-Tools are designed to facilitate participation in this kind of inquiry. Results of a pilot experiment of using FLE-Tools in higher education are presented. The study was based on an analysis of 125 messages posted by thirteen university students to the FLE-Tools database. The results indicated that the course provided positive evidence for an integration of progressive inquiry and online discussion. The pedagogical and design challenges with which we are currently struggling are discussed: the problems of creating a learning community for students collaborating at distance or managing large number of entries in FLE's database.
