In this poster we examine the role of epistemic mediation in technology-mediated collaborative learning. We argue that participants in technology-mediated learning deal with amplified, temporally integrated and spatially merged semiotic resources, constituting specific chronotopes. The cultivation of such chronotopes, characterized by the creation of epistemic artifacts that crystallize cognitive processes and re-mediate activity, requires expansive learning efforts that transform the entire activity system. Investigation of such chronotopes seems a promising line of inquiry in CSCL. © ISLS.

Abstract
In this poster we examine the role of epistemic mediation in technology-mediated collaborative learning. We argue that participants in technology-mediated learning deal with amplified, temporally integrated and spatially merged semiotic resources, constituting specific chronotopes. The cultivation of such chronotopes, characterized by the creation of epistemic artifacts that crystallize cognitive processes and re-mediate activity, requires expansive learning efforts that transform the entire activity system. Investigation of such chronotopes seems a promising line of inquiry in CSCL. © ISLS.File in questo prodotto:
