Chat Analysis in Virtual Math Teams Gerry Stahl & the VMT Team The Math Forum @ Drexel The I-School @ Drexel Gerry.Stahl@drexel.edu
Goals of VMT & Workshop • How to understand knowledge building that takes place in the VMT environment • How to support data analysis with technology • How to move from data, to analysis, to broader claims • How to design technology & pedagogy to support effective group cognition online
Face-to-face Classroom • familiar people and artifacts • parallel collaboration
1. Avr (8:21:46 PM): Okay, I think we should start with the formula for the area of a triangle2. Sup (8:22:17 PM):ok3. Avr (8:22:28 PM): A = 1/2bh4. Avr (8:22:31 PM): I believe5. pin (8:22:35 PM):yes6. pin (8:22:37 PM):i concue7. pin (8:22:39 PM):concur*8. Avr (8:22:42 PM): then find the area of each triangle9. Avr (8:22:54 PM): oh, wait10. Sup (8:23:03 PM):the base and heigth are 9 and 12 right?11. Avr (8:23:11 PM): no12. Sup (8:23:16 PM):o13. Avr (8:23:16 PM): that's two separate triangles14. Sup (8:23:19 PM):ooo15. Sup (8:23:20 PM):ok16. Avr (8:23:21 PM): right17. Avr (8:23:27 PM): i think we have to figure out the height by ourselves18. Avr (8:23:29 PM): if possible19. pin (8:24:05 PM):i know how20. pin (8:24:09 PM):draw the altitude'21. Avr (8:24:09 PM): how?22. Avr (8:24:15 PM): right23. Sup (8:24:19 PM):proportions?24. Avr (8:24:19 PM): this is frustrating25. Avr (8:24:22 PM): I don't have enough paper26. pin (8:24:43 PM):i think i got it27. pin (8:24:54 PM):its a 30/60/90 triangle28. Avr (8:25:06 PM): I see29. pin (8:25:12 PM):so whats the formula background issuesdisembodied textseparate diagrams
