[edit] Introduction

This wiki is for planning and discussion of the

Chat Analysis Workshop

at CSCL 2007. It is also for developing content for a book on the Virtual Math Teams project, tentatively entitled Studying Virtual Math Teams.

[edit] Instructions to Authors

This is an invitational list for the workshop and the book. The book is tentatively planned to contain papers on the topics (working titles) listed below. Invited authors should submit a paper if interested.

Authors should submit a working version of their paper for purposes of getting feedback and suggestions. The paper should be 10-20 pages long. It should be written for the edited book. If possible, it should feature data collected in the VMT environment. It should not include a description of the VMT project in general.

Please note that the below listed titles and authors are only tentative suggestions, invitations or placeholders -- submit a paper whose title and content express what you would like to contribute to the workshop or book. Also, it is not necessary to participate in both the workshop and the book -- indicate your preference in your cover email.

April 23 is the deadline for drafts of papers for the CSCL conference workshop, since we want to firm up the program for the workshop and begin to discuss the papers.

Authors should email a Word version of their paper to Gerry.Stahl@drexel.edu. The paper should be in MS Word format. It should be single spaced with line numbering turned on and pages numbered in the bottom right corner. Save the paper named with your first name (e.g., "gerry.doc"). If a version of the paper was reviewed for the CSCL conference or another venue, also email a copy of the reviews in the same format with the name, "firstname-review" (e.g., "gerry-review.doc").

[edit] Instructions to Discussion Participants

The full papers can be downloaded from the link marked "[original]". Participants in the wiki discussion should go to the link for a paper marked "[revised with discussion]". Here you can make suggestions and go to the "discussion" tab to engage in threaded discussion of the paper. Periodic synchronous chat sessions will also be held in VMT for selected papers.
