Computer-supported Knowledge Building Community

The spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) challenges global society. COVID-19 disease control strategies, still precarious, have placed the limiting of social interaction as the main focal point. In the educational field, the circumstances have required the educational centres to assume the modality of remote education as the main educational route. Educational technology not only facilitates online interactions and communications between educational agents but also offers specific tools to evaluate students’ learning. Thus, learning analytics tools add concurrent evaluation into the online learning platform, making reflective learning possible for students and teachers. In this chapter, we present two new tools to facilitate reflective learning in the computer-supported knowledge building community (CSKBC). One of these tools allows users to analyze the profiles of the members of a community according to the recognition they obtain from their peers. The other tool allows users to analyze the value of the ideas that the members of a community believe can facilitate progressive discourse in a knowledge building community (KBC). To confirm the value of these learning analytics, an evaluation of their graphs according to possible stakeholders is proposed.
