Abstract

Recent research in CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) and CSCW (Computer Supported Co-operative Work) has provided insights into how various forms of awareness information should be computer supported to enable collaboration in distributed environments. Based on an understanding of learning as mediated by social interaction and artefacts (such as various forms of information and communication technologies), we argue that the effects of task and workspace awareness are highly situated with respect to collaborative knowledge construction. Some issues from this line of consideration are illustrated by examples gathered from designs of a distributed interactive 3D application.
