Abstract

This paper reviews some foundational issues that affect the progress of CSCL. In particular we examine the terms technology, affordance and infrastructure and propose a relational approach to their use in CSCL. Following a consideration of networks, space and trust we propose an indirect approach to design in CSCL. The paper is based on the outcomes of two European networks, E-QUEL a network on e-quality in e-learning and Kaleidoscope, a European Union Framework 6 Network of Excellence and the 'Conditions of productive learning in networked learning environments' project in particular. This paper does not aim to be comprehensive or summative rather it provides a view of current issues and perspectives from a European point of view.
