Abstract

We present the results of a study in which we contrast alternative forms of collaborative learning support in the midst of a collaborative design task in which students negotiate between increasing power and increasing environmental friendliness. In this context, we evaluated the instructional effectiveness of four alternative support conditions as well as a goal manipulation. Both manipulations yield surprising findings, which we are continuing to investigate.
