Seminar participants will be expected to define small, short-term, collaborative research projects and then exchange perspectives on this semester's topic based on their research findings. Interdisciplinary teams of 2-4 people are encouraged.
Illustrative Issues:
 | Interdisciplinary: How do we define and assess learning in KBEs? How do we compare effectiveness of different KBE approaches and components? |
| Computer Science: If databases of different KBEs are represented in standardized XML files, what display tools can be developed to analyze and display the contents in ways relevant to research questions? |
| Education: How do the technical designs of different KBEs affect the scaffolding of classroom practices and content for their use? |
| Psychology: How can LSA be used by researchers to analyze discussion databases and how can KBEs use LSA to provide useful guidance to users? |
| Linguistics: How can the databases of KBEs be analyzed to determine communication and argumentation structures and to compare them to those of face-to-face class discussion. |
| Philosophy: How is meaning constructed, shared, internalized, mediated, preserved or distorted, alienated, reified through external representations in KBEs
