Reviews & Statements

Monitoring and Assessment in Online Collaborative Environments: Emergent Computational Technologies for E-Learning Support provides researchers and developers of online collaborative systems with approaches for effective and efficient means that would assist e-learning students and teachers with precise and relevant information regarding the ongoing online learning activity at both individual and group levels.

– Angel A. Juan, Open University of Catalonia, Spain

IGI Global has followed their usual practice of collecting expert opinion and research results on an important new issues in information technology... It should be noted that the techniques which these researchers have applied to obtain monitoring and assessment information in educational environments are important forerunners of the methods that can also be applied to user modeling, wiki's, and collaborative applications, which are widely applied in building knowledge in corporations, governments, and organizations around the world.

– Ira Laefsky, MSE, MBA Information Technology Consultant and HCI Researcher Selected as a Fall 2011 Shelf-Worthy Academic Title by Baker & Taylor.

A notable collection of articles in the arena of collaborative environments and e-learning. A truly useful resource to educators, researchers, and practitioners.

– Inma Rodriguez-Ardura, Director, Doctoral Programme, Open University of Catalonia, Spain

This book provides the e-learning community with a necessary compilation and unified reference of web based tools, best practices and theoretical frameworks for monitoring learning processes and assessment in online collaborative environments and scenarios. It is a very useful resource to approach the subject with a current and global perspective.

– M. Antonia Huertas, Open University of Catalonia, Spain
