Abstract: Mass collaboration is a present-day Internet practice with far-reaching implications for education and for a knowledge society in general. The goal of this symposium is to establish the concept of mass collaboration as a relevant topic in CSCL by presenting related research conducted with multifaceted perspectives from different labs. Several presentations will provide insight into the current approaches to the complex and large-scale phenomenon. They will address a range of theories and methodologies to identify and approach the major aspects of learning and knowledge development in the informal context of the present-day social web. The presenters will ground the analyses of mass collaboration processes and outcomes on a variety of examples of effective Web 2.0 settings and technological environments. The anticipated discussion will map out what unique insights can be gained from studying this form of collaboration compared to more formalized small-scale settings, as well as possible directions for future research in the area.
