Abstract

This article discusses different facets of collaborative model construction, specifically the graphical modeling with visual languages. We explain the concept of collaborative mindtools, a synergy between mindtools as “objects to think with” and collaborative learning. We define a classification schema to explore the possible space of collaborative learning according to the dimensions of varying social arrangements and different interaction modes. Our practical experience in some of the resulting scenarios is described to highlight the possible varieties of collaborative modeling scenarios. We conclude with an integrated scenario utilizing several of these arrangements and present approaches and tools to support teachers in orchestrating these scenarios.
