Abstract

Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) tools, Asynchronous Discussions in particular, are a significant constituent of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) approaches. DIAS is an asynchronous discussion platform with integrated Interaction Analysis tools, focusing in supporting all the actors (students, teachers, researchers) involved in collaborative discourse learning activities. This paper attempts to explore the step forward from the stage of analysis, interaction analysis in particular, towards the design and implementation of flexible and adaptable asynchronous discussion platforms.
