Temporal Pathways to Learning: How Learning Emerges in an Open-ended Collaborative Activity

Pierre Dillenbourg, Mortadha Abderrahim, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimo ...
