Abstract:
Online collaborative learning (OCL) has been widely used in various disciplines including translation subject. Effective OCL needs the support of the OCL environment and pedagogical methods. Socially shared regulation (SSR) is a useful strategy to improve OCL because it stimulates students’ participation. In learning translation, OCL is usually adopted but students struggle with regulating their learning to reach consensus about their translation work. This paper presents a new OCL environment, TransLaboration, to support collaborative translation learning. In TransLaboration, SSR prompts are embedded to facilitate students’ social interaction, Moodle is used as the LMS, Tencent QQ works for students’ chatroom and Kingsoft Document is applied as the workplace for collaborative translation. The design of TransLaboration and learning activities are presented in this paper, and further investigation is needed to maximize its function.
