• In Event: CLT- Equity & Learning Access (h)

Short Description

This study investigates how collaborative concept mapping tasks affect the knowledge convergence of learners. Participants are divided into two groups by the grouping, collaboration, corporation to investigate knowledge convergence by the different types of grouping. A concept mapping tool as an artifact was provided as a visual representation and supportive tool of collaboration. We expect to observe their knowledge convergence during the synchronous discussion with the mapping tool by analyzing their discourses.
