This paper reviews some foundational issues that we believe will affect the progress of CSCL over the next ten years. In particular, we examine the terms technology, affordance, and infrastructure and we propose a relational approach to their use in CSCL. Following a consideration of networks, space, and trust as conditions of productive learning, we propose an indirect approach to design in CSCL. The work supporting this theoretical paper is based on the outcomes of two European networks: E-QUEL, a network investigating e-quality in e-learning; and Kaleidoscope, a European Union Framework 6 Network of Excellence. In arguing for a relational understanding of affordance, infrastructure, and technology we also argue for a focus on what we describe as mesolevel activity. Overall this paper does not aim to be comprehensive or summative in its review of the state of the art in CSCL, but rather to provide a view of the issues currently facing CSCL from a European perspective.

I disse år implementeres laeringsplatforme på de danske folkeskoler som en del af et stort nationalt initiativ. Disse platforme griber ind i og skaber nye betingelser for laereres arbejde med undervisning og skolernes kommunikation og samarbejde.Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan skolerne forholder sig til laeringsplatformene og implementeringen af dem, og hvilke udfordringer og mulighedsrum der opstår i den forbindelse. Artiklen er baseret på data fra forskningsprojektet "Anvendelse af digitale laeringsplatforme og laeremidler", der med et paedagogisk/didaktisk, teknologisk og organisatorisk fokus har undersøgt 15 skolers anvendelse og ibrugtagning af laeringsplatforme i vinter 2016/ forår 2017. Centrale resultater fra projektet praesenteres gennem to cases, der illustrerer centrale opmaerksomhedspunkter og implementeringsudfordringer på skolerne.Udfordringerne består isaer i, at platformenes rammer opleves at gøre det vanskeligt for laerere at bevare og udvikle veletablerede paedagogiske praksisser, uden deres vaerdigrundlag samtidig kompromitteres. I artiklen beskriver vi gennem de to cases, hvordan disse udfordringer kan imødegås, og hvilke problematikker der består. Abstract in EnglishCurrently, learning platforms are being implemented in the Danish elementary schools as a part of a national initiative. These platforms have implications for teachers work and for communication and collaboration.
