Analyzing and presenting interaction data: a teacher, student, and researcher perspective

International audienceStudents‘ actions within a CSCL environment are recorded and stored as interaction data. The availability of such data offers new opportunities for support: the data can be accessed and analyzed automatically. Teachers, students and researchers may benefit from such an analysis. They have access to information about students‘ performance in the CSCL environment.
