Abstract :
A significant number of CSCL (computer-supported collaborative learning) environments support the learning of groups of students enabling their collaboration in solving problems. In this paper, we propose a methodological approach for the design of observation systems in CSCL environments that collect and store all the information required for comprehensive analysis of both the collaboration process and its resulting product (i.e., the solution to a problem).
