SCoRe-LFC: Platform data on crowd collaboration in higher education

  • 1. Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel

Description

SCoRe (short for Student Crowd Research) was a joint research project between the Universities of Bremen (UB), Hamburg (UHH) and Kiel (CAU), the Macromedia University of Applied Sciences (HMM) and the Ghostthinker GmbH (GT). The overall aim of the project was to develop a digital learning and research environment as well as didactic scenarios that foster collaborative processes of research-based learning in large groups of students (crowd). The main subject area was research for sustainable development. Towards this end, the project consortium drew on the partners’ expertise on advanced video-technologies (HHM), virtual collaboration in interdisciplinary and largescale groups (CAU), research-based learning (UHH) and education and research for sustainable development (UB). To achieve its goals, the project adopted a design-based research approach. The Project started in Oct. 2018 and was funded for 3.5 years by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in a funding scheme on digital higher education.

The work in the department of media-pedagogy and educational computer sciences at Kiel University was focused on the sub-project „SCoRe - learning and researching in the crowd“. The sub-project was aimed at the development, implementation and evaluation of pedagogical and organizational measures for the seeding, coordination and orchestration of collaborative research and learning processes in crowd scenarios. Particular emphasis was placed on crowd-specific characteristics of productive knowledge work in large and interdisciplinary groups.

This dataset contains interaction data as well as textual content data. As ongoing development of the software platform led to a continuous integration of new features into the platform itself as well as changes to the data collection functions, making this an evolving dataset. Some inconsistencies exist due to software bugs.
