Contribution
Information and Communication Technologies allow for various forms of collaborative learning. Two of these will be studied in this contribution: (1) the exchange of emails and (2) the use of Knowledge Forum® by doctoral students from the University of Helsinki. Both forms of collaborative learning clearly have promoted creative collaborative learning, and both have specific problems.
The first case to be studied is collaborated learning based on a new public online service for biodiversity education called NatureGate®. There is a history of more than three years of accumulated exchanges of thousands of emails between two of the founding members of NatureGate® online services. Critical incidents of messages will be discussed in relation to problems and promises of technology enhanced learning. The second case refers to the use of Knowledge Forum® to promote education for sustainable development. In this second case a new type of questionnaire is created to promote education for sustainable development. Also both theory and practice of sustainable development are cumulatively discussed.
In our contribution, we will compare the two ICT uses with respect to their potential to foster collaborative learning.
