CSCL 2007 pre-conference events

Make the most of your trip to CSCL 2007. Come early and participate in the pre-conference events at Rutgers July 16-18!

The main conference will be preceded by two-and-a-half days of pre-conference events. The morning before the conference opening, Naomi Miyake will present a half-day tutorial “Introduction to CSCL.”

Fourteen workshops on a wide range of topics are scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning. These are great opportunities to meet people interested in these aspects of CSCL and to get into the spirit of the conference ahead of time. During the rest of the conference, you may get to better know the people you meet in the pre-conference and get ideas about which conference presentations to attend.

The workshops will follow a variety of formats; read their descriptions on the conference website for details. They each focus on a timely issue of CSCL theory, methodology, technology, analysis or pedagogy.
