Abstract
One major question for innovations in learning design is which new learning concepts should be implemented in higher education and in companies in the future. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), and in particular scripting as a possibility to support learning processes, are possible concepts to be implemented. Collaborative
learning can be defined as "a situation in which two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together" (Dillenbourg, 1999, p 1).
Since collaborative learning is not always effective, a closer look needs to be taken at how interaction during CSCL can be made richer, more intense and more meaningful. One approach is to script the collaboration process through specific phases, roles, and activities. This also includes the forming of groups in a specific way. Four specific scripts are presented in this report:
› ArgueGraph,
› ConceptGrid,
› IceCube,
› IceGrain.
All four scripts are integrated in a comprehensive support environment, called ManyScripts.
