However, social media are problematic, fostering flaming, culture wars and fake news. This volume presents an alternative paradigm for computer support of group thinking, collaborative learning and joint knowledge construction. This requires expanding concepts of cognition to collectivities, like collaborative groups of networked students. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTheoretical Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e explores the conditions for group cognition, supplying a philosophical foundation for new models of pedagogy and methods to analyze group interaction. Twenty-five self-contained investigations document progress in research on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL)--both in Stahl'sown research and during the first decade of the CSCL journal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume begins with two new reflections on the vision and theory that result from this research. Representing both ethnomethodological and social-constructivist research paradigms, the investigations within this volume comprise a selection of seminal and influential articles and critical commentaries that contribute to an understanding of concepts and themes central to the CSCL field. The book elaborates an innovative theory of group cognition and substantiates the pedagogical potential of CSCL. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTheoretical Investigations: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Foundations of Group Cognition \u003c\/i\u003eis essential as a graduate text for courses in educational theory, instructional design, learning and networked technologies.
