Abstract

The authors specified XML bindings for CSCL data interchange, and developed an automatic CSCL data exchange function among LMSs. Conventional CSCL activities are processed without exchanging any information with other learner groups, even they are discussing the same topic. With use of the proposing function, a learner group is able to acquire basic information, related references and various standpoints for the given topic during the discussion or in advance. In order to execute XML based inter-LMS data transmission, XML bindings named COLCOX was specified. Also, an open source LMS of Moodle was utilized and expanded to install the proposing function to transmit CSCL data. With use of the proposing function, a learner group is able to get scaffolding information and knowledge on CSCL activities.
