Collective intelligence based Collaborative Learning platform

Networked computers provide an environment for students to work, learn, explore and think in small groups of peers connected globally. However, previous CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning) studies consider primitive level of knowledge sharing and knowledge building on Web 2.0 environment. In this study we propose the architecture of collective intelligence based collaborative learning platform consisting following four modules: 1) knowledge gathering module, 2) knowledge stratification/structuring module, 3) knowledge visualization module, and 4) knowledge evaluation module. Moreover this study analyzes how each module is related with the collaborative knowledge building model and collective mental map.
