Collaborative technology and new e-pedagogy

The educational environment is changing from traditional classroom teaching ecology from the adaptive individual/collaborative learning one by development of Internet, mobile and wireless technology. Therefore, we need to develop the new pedagogy in consideration of such new technologies. Especially, our knowledge and wisdom are cultivated by interactive learning/problem solving/building something through collaborative activities. In this panel discussion, we would like to examine the meanings/ecology of "collaborative learning" again and explore the new technologies of communications which evokes and enhances it. In this panel discussion, we aim to understand and share the concept of computer/Internet supported collaborative learning, and then we explore the technologies of collaborative tools and infrastructure to promote collaborative learning in consideration of the image of new e-pedagogy for collaborative learning. Finally, we would like to discuss about the international standardization for those technologies.
