The International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (ijCSCL)

Overview

The International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (ijCSCL) was founded in 2006 to provide a venue for publication of leading papers on CSCL research. I co-founded the journal with Friedrich Hesse, the director of the Knowledge Media Research Center in Tuebingen, Germany, and with a Board of Editors including about 40 leading CSCL and CSCW researchers from around the world. In 2016, I transfered the Editor-in-Chief position to Sten Ludvigsen from the University of Oslo. The journal is published quarterly by Springer, sponsored by the International Society of the Learning Sciences.
