Enabling technology and mechanism for knowledge building in synergistic learning environment

Abstract

Synergistic learning technology system is a new learning environment with collaborative annotation and visual knowledge mapping. With experimentation and verbal protocol method, this paper analyzed the learnerpsilas knowledge building dynamics in the learning process under the research context supported by synergistic learning technology system. The result shows the learning system worked well on the learner group who has unbalanced knowledge building ability in different phases of synergistic learning. The influence is more obvious during information sharing and comparison stage. Synergistic learning technology system has realized collective knowledge building and graphical representation of collective memory.
