Shared Knowledge Awareness is defined as the consciousness on
the shared knowledge that a particular student has when carrying out a collaborative
learning activity in a CSCL environment. In fact, an adequate level of
Shared Knowedge Awareness can be promoted by including in the interface of
this environment some specific features that improve the student perception
related to such knowedge. This paper proposes some basic design guidelines
that should be taken into account when designing a CSCL interface in order
to promote an adecuate user’s behavior with respect to his/her Shared
Knowledge Awareness. Besides, a set of usability principles is identified and
linked to every suggested guideline to evaluate its quality (in terms of “easiness
to use and learnability”) in an actual interface. Two different experiments
are included as real-life examples that are analized within the proposed
approach.
