title = "Designing Computer Support for Collaborative Visual Learning in the Domain of Computer Programming",
abstract = "Collaborative learning of visual information with computers can be particularly beneficial for acquiring complex and abstract knowledge. This article describes a computer-supported collaborative visual learning environment called TurtleGraph that was designed to assist learners in capturing the concept of recursion as well as recursive programming skills. In this distributed learning environment, students were requested to collaborate with their partners to write LISP-LOGO recursive programs in order to solve geometric pattern drawing problems. The instructional aim of the TurtleGraph collaborative visual learning environment was to foster active knowledge processes through collaborative work that helps learners make their strategic thinking more explicit and induce more reflective thoughts, and also helps them be more critical in evaluating and interpreting the adequacy of their knowledge.",

note = "Funding Information: The research project was funded by the National Science Council, Taiwan, under contract no. NSC82-0111-S-032-005, to the first author of this article. This project was executed under the group project entitled LISA with social learning as the main research focus. The goal of the LISA project was to establish various multi-channel learning environments, where students engaged in learning activities by interacting with various agents who may be actual human learners or computer-simulated agents. The authors are grateful to Steven Liang and Yu-Fen Shih for their assistance and constructive ideas in getting started on developing the system, and are also grateful to Scott D. Johnson and Michael Jacobson for their valuable comments on the early draft of this article. ",
