With the term of computer-aided cooperative learning (English: Computer Supported Cooperative/Collaborative Learning (CSCL)) to support beginnings described cooperative learning (to learn in groups) by the use from IuK technologies to.

Kollaboratives learning in groups, which each other bring in supplementing experiences, in order to learn new knowledge with one another in the interaction, is appropriately regarded as the today's work and learning world.

We can differentiate thereby situations, in which distributes the participants, i.e. are from different places connected by computer TZE involved in the learning process, and situations, in which the participants at a place (e.g. in CSCL laboratories) learn together.

Distributed groups of learning need a computer-assisted, kollaborative learning environment at least, them

• Access to common material,
• the kollaborative development of new materials (like e.g. housework or Referate),
• synchronous and asynchronous communication of knowledge as well as
• a participant administration and a role assignment make possible.

Contrary to the offer-oriented E-Learning CSCL environments are so far less investigated. Problems are seen in particular in the situation-appropriate medium and method choice, in the production of a common knowledge background of the group, in the illustration of social operational readiness level in computer-assisted learning environments as well as in the co-ordination by groups of learning and group activities.

Contributions from the research to computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), didactical and learn-theoretical realizations as well as experiences with E-Learning form the frameworks of CSCL. In the operational surrounding field CSCL is placed into the context by knowledge management.

CSCL is used frequently also in the sense of the Blended Learning.
