Hi Mel, Two thoughts:
One of the organizers, Andrea Forte, is in my College. I'll mention you to her. Secondly, I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly, but are you aware that there's also a research community organized around the label CSCL for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning? See, for example, http://ijcscl.org/ Cheers, Greg -----Original Message----- From: tos-boun...@teachingopensource.org [mailto:tos-boun...@teachingopensource.org] On Behalf Of Mel Chua Sent: Monday, October 22, 2012 3:36 PM To: 'TOS List' Subject: [TOS] Computer Supported Cooperative Work Via my advisor, and potentially of interest to some folks here. I've met some of the folks on the organizing committee and they are rather cool -- not sure how practice-oriented this will be (or how K-12 focused) since the group seems geared towards "things in K-12 classrooms!" but I don't see a reason why TOS-type activites would be excluded. :) -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: A useful community for you? Datum: Sat, 20 Oct 2012 22:17:21 +0000 Von: Adams, Robin S. <rsad...@purdue.edu> An: Mel Chua <m...@purdue.edu> We invite you to participate in the workshop: CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) and Education: Viewing Education as a Site of Work Practice. http://cscw-ed.getdown.org/ The workshop will take place at CSCW 2013 http://cscw.acm.org/ (ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work). The workshop will be held on Saturday, February 23^rd , 2012 in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Educational organizations, whether they are formal or informal, present a work environment in which technology, and social and cultural interactions mediate unfolding work. What opportunities does this site of work practice hold for CSCW researchers and designers? And how might these educational organizations benefit from the work of CSCW? This one-day workshop will explore these and other similar questions as we seek to build a community of researchers, designers and practitioners in different disciplines interested in the intersection of CSCW and Education. We are accepting 2-4 page position papers from participants that theoretically and / or empirically relate to the topic. *These are due by November 16, 2012.* Visit our web page for more information http://cscw-ed.getdown.org/or email: cscw2...@learningscienc.es <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups> _Organizing Committee:_ Peter Wardrip Ben Shapiro Andrea Forte Spiro Maroulis Karen Brennan Ricarose Roque _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
