Sean Goggins is an Associate Professor at the University of Missouri. He teaches, publishes and conducts research on the uptake and use of information and communication technologies by small groups in medium to large scale sociotechnical systems; from Facebook, to online course systems and open online communities. Sean conceptualizes "group informatics" as a methodological approach and ontology (Goggins et al, 2013) for making sense of the interactions between people in medium to large scale social computing environments. His research examines the information behavior, knowledge construction, identity development, performance and structural evolution of small, online groups. Goggins recent work focuses on large scale meta studies of open online communities, measuring performance in virtual organizations, and identifying factors that influence performance and learning in technology mediated environments. Goggins is currently leading the development of gaming analytics on the Mission Hydro Sci projects at the University of Missouri.

We describe the project our data emerges from and the resulting interaction data sets that we are offering to the community for analysis and reporting. Data may be analyzed at multiple levels, including the individual, group, class, and network levels. We also present an overview of the analysis we expect to conduct using the described datasets, and the theory and research that contributes to our research ...

The workshop's theme is, simply" CSCL at the workplace". Our first workshop at ACM Group 2010, and the resulting book, raise an important set of issues and potentials for research, but does not solve the thorny and controversial issues. This workshop will be focused on for making progress on the identified issues. The ACM Group conference remains an ideal venue for a workshop on this topic ...

Course 1 had context-aware activity notification tools implemented; Course 2 did not. Course 2 demonstrated a significant decrease in social ability across groups and for the course as a whole; this differed from Course 1 which had increases in social ability with the awareness tools. Implications for use of context-aware activity notification tools in online learning systems are discussed.

Our analysis identifies the differences in discourse between the two debates. We find that only 14% of individuals participate in discourse surrounding both of the debates. Further, we identify differences in the way that the most active individuals in the discourse utilize syntactical features. Our findings contribute to the limited literature examining ...
