Abstract
Knowledge building refers to social and collaborative processes to advance knowledge and ideas of value to a community, with individual learning and growth of members as an important by-product. Cyber environments to support knowledge building (e.g. Knowledge Forum) provide networked knowledge spaces where members contribute ideas and continually improve the ideas through collaborative discourse and other inquiry activities. Research on knowledge building using cyber environments sheds light on socio-cognitive and cultural dynamics underpinning knowledge building and technology-based designs to support such dynamics. In the context of education, research results demonstrate the possibility and benefits of engaging students in knowledge building early on to develop deep understanding in core subject areas and high-order competencies that are essential to 21st century careers.
