Identifying the Pitfalls for Social Interaction in Computer-Supportive Collaborative Learning Environments: Community Building in CSCL Environments

  • Communities require an affective structure; building this structure entails processes of affiliation, impression formation, and interpersonal attraction to encourage social relationships + group cohesion.
  • Social relationships, group cohesion, and level of trust are defining factors of the affective structure within a social community that reinforces social interaction
  • There are two factors that influence community building but are lacking within CSCL environments:
    • Non-task contexts and social interactions in the social (psychological dimension)
    • Interpersonal effects of using computer-mediated communication (CMC)
