This project aimed to enhance our current understanding of how learners develop their internal knowledge representations when they: (a) perceive external multimedia representations of knowledge, (b) interact with technological artefacts and/or (c) collaborate to co-construct knowledge. Common thread in all these cases is the interaction between learners' internal representations of knowledge and the external ones. In particular, the project participants: 1)identified and organizing our current level of knowledge in the above three dimensions, working out a "State-of-the-art" Report and synthesizing a common conceptual framework, in terms of concepts and methods which shape the current level of understanding; 2)identified existing gaps concerning these dimensions, in the TEL research; 3)got involved into selective case studies or field experimentations to answer specific research questions emerging from the understanding of the identified gaps; 4)organized the results in an agenda proposing further research projects that could be eligible for national funding; 5)produced relative instructional course material, as input to other Kaleidoscope dissemination and integration activities.
Scopo di questo progetto era migliorare la comprensione di come gli studenti sviluppano rappresentazioni interne della consocenza quando: (a) percepiscono una rappresentazione esterna multimediale, (b) interagiscono con qualche artefatto tecnologico, (c) collaborano alla costruzione di conoscenza. Il filo conduttore di queste tre possibilità è l'interazione fra le rappresentazioni della conosceza che gli studenti creano nelle loro menti e le rappresentazioni esterne a cui sono esposti. In particolare, i partecipanti del progetto: 1)hanno investigato lo stato attuale delle conoscenze in questo campo, producendo un stato dell'arte e sintetizzando un contesto concettuale per l'analisi del problema; 2)hanno identificato punti la cui comprensione richiede ulteriori ricerche; 3)hanno sviluppato case-studies e speriementazioni per investigare alcune delle domande di ricerca emerse; 4)hanno organizzato i risultati in un'agenda di ricerca per il futuro, che potesse servire di spunto per proporre nuovi progetti di ricerca; 5)hanno prodotto le specifiche di un corso sull'argomento, come contributo per le attività interne di Kaleidoscope.

Abstract
This project aimed to enhance our current understanding of how learners develop their internal knowledge representations when they: (a) perceive external multimedia representations of knowledge, (b) interact with technological artefacts and/or (c) collaborate to co-construct knowledge. Common thread in all these cases is the interaction between learners' internal representations of knowledge and the external ones. In particular, the project participants: 1)identified and organizing our current level of knowledge in the above three dimensions, working out a "State-of-the-art" Report and synthesizing a common conceptual framework, in terms of concepts and methods which shape the current level of understanding; 2)identified existing gaps concerning these dimensions, in the TEL research; 3)got involved into selective case studies or field experimentations to answer specific research questions emerging from the understanding of the identified gaps; 4)organized the results in an agenda proposing further research projects that could be eligible for national funding; 5)produced relative instructional course material, as input to other Kaleidoscope dissemination and integration activities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
