Abstract

This paper presents our research of a pedagogical model known as Knowledge Community and Inquiry (KCI), focusing on our design of a technological infrastructure for the orchestration of the complex CSCL scripts that characterize KCI curricula. We first introduce the KCI model including some basic design principles, and describe its dependency on real time learning analytics. Next, we describe our technology, known as SAIL Smart Space (S3), which provides scaffolding and analytic support of sequenced interactions amongst people, materials, tools and environments. We outline the critical role of the teacher in our designs and describe how S3 supports their active role in orchestration. Finally we outline two implementations of KCI/S3 and the role of learning analytics, in supporting dynamic collective visualizations, real time orchestrational logic, and ambient displays.
