When to collaborate: individual and group exploration of a hypertext environment within an inquiry science classroom

Garrett W. Smith, Sarah A. Sullivan, Sadhana Puntambekar
2009 International Conference on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning  
The use of a hypertext environment within an inquiry science curriculum is explored, comparing two conditions of group collaboration: one in which students explore the environment individually prior to a group discussion, and one in which students use the hypertext as a group while discussing the content. Student discourse is analyzed to compare the efficacy of the two conditions and the influence of classroom context on these learning conditions is discussed.
