  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 7697))

Abstract

This paper addresses the effort to investigate the potential of using real time data for helping teachers in assessing and monitoring learner’s commitments towards learning collaboratively at a distance in online scenarios. We aim with this to recognize group vulnerabilities and being able to help teachers intervene (when needed) and support positive actions and contributions among learners and therefore reinforce learners autonomy and motivations to engage in everyday creativity skills and innovations.

Main results achieved so far are translated in an attempt to report evidence gathered through observation (as a pilot test) a real case scenario (a international Technology enhanced-learning course) aiming to understand three major aspect of the potential of trust in leverage support positive actions and creative contributions. Results provide a linking evidence towards the potential of trust awareness in support positive actions and creative contributions in the classroom.
