language for learning designs and collaboration scripts
of various granularities

Abstract
Learning Processes in technology enhanced learning are
utilized at very different granularity. This is
especially striking in the field of Collaboration
Scripts, where we find both the description of whole
scenarios as well as very specific procedures for
acquiring knowledge of a skill under the same term: a
CSCL script (Computer Supported Collaborative
Learning).<br /> This poses the problem that CSCL
scripts are perceived very differently in the
literature and that they are consequently represented
very heterogeneously. The conceptual and computational
integration of these different levels of granularity
has been elaborated on only marginally up to now.<br />
In this contribution we present our conclusions on the
properties a representational system should have to
overcomes the gap between the different levels of
learning processes. After a discussion and comparison
of different notations for process modelling, both
educational and technical approaches, we establish a
uniform representation technique for the description of
various levels of granularity. This will result in less
effort for the designers of learning activities and
provides the opportunity to combine scripts of the
different levels opening up a large potential of
supporting students in their learning processes much
more flexibly. This is demonstrated in a practical
example of combining CSCL scripts of macro and micro
level.
