We define a pedagogic collective challengeas a CSCL learning situation where: (1) the problem is designed to make learners practice some target domain-related and/or meta-cognitive competencies; (2) a group of learners is involved, as a team, in the solving of the problem; (3) the solving requires the learners to join their forces; (4) the problem and the setting are designed to create a positive tension that motivates learners. Such chall- enges aim at enhancing learners' motivation in involving themselves in the collective solving and, within this process, in knowledge generative interactions such as conflict resolution, explanation or mutual regulation [1].
