Abstract

Teaching and learning are social interactions that are impacted by contextual, situated factors within the learning environment. These factors include the past and present circumstances of the participants, their psychological and social characteristics, and the physical characteristics of the environment. Contextualized technological systems that take these factors into account. This paper contrasts contextualized and traditional computing. A description of the StoneSoup digital portfolio system is provided as an example of a contextualized CSCL application.
