Abstract
This SIE is aimed at members of the iSchool community who are interested in studying synchronous collaboration in and out of the classroom. The attendees will develop an understanding of how the Collabrify Research Platform (CRP) is instrumented to provide real-time data – learning analytics - on students engaging in synchronous collaboration while they are using the Collabrify suite “collabrified” apps (Collabrify Writer, Map, KWL, Flipbook, Chart Attendees then can use the device-agnostic, open-source, CRP to support their research into synchronous collaboration. To better anchor this SIE in the iSchool community, before the conference, attendees can submit to Norris/Soloway “hypothetical scenarios” – use cases of synchronous collaboration (see form at: http://tinyurl.com/gsuy8bt) - that are illustrative of the attendees’ R&D efforts. At the SIE, then, attendees (in small groups) will discuss how the CRP can be used to support the research represented in the attendees’ hypothetical scenarios.
