title: SCoRe-LFC: Platform data on crowd collaboration in higher education

description: SCoRe (short for Student Crowd Research) was a joint research project between the Universities of Bremen (UB), Hamburg (UHH) and Kiel (CAU), the Macromedia University of Applied Sciences (HMM) and the Ghostthinker GmbH (GT). The overall aim of the project was to develop a digital learning and research environment as well as didactic scenarios that foster collaborative processes of research-based learning in large groups of students (crowd). The main subject area was research for sustainable development. Towards this end, the project consortium drew on the partners’ expertise on advanced video-technologies (HHM), virtual collaboration in interdisciplinary and largescale groups (CAU), research-based learning (UHH) and education and research for sustainable development (UB). To achieve its goals, the project adopted a design-based research approach. The Project started in Oct. 2018 and was funded for 3.5 years by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in a funding scheme on digital higher education. The work in the department of media-pedagogy and educational computer sciences at Kiel University was focused on the sub-project „SCoRe - learning and researching in the crowd“. The sub-project was aimed at the development, implementation and evaluation of pedagogical and organizational measures for the seeding, coordination and orchestration of collaborative research and learning processes in crowd scenarios. Particular emphasis was placed on crowd-specific characteristics of productive knowledge work in large and interdisciplinary groups. This dataset contains interaction data as well as textual content data. As ongoing development of the software platform led to a continuous integration of new features into the platform itself as well as changes to the data collection functions, making this an evolving dataset. Some inconsistencies exist due to software bugs. <strong>Platform data structure diagram </strong> Further Readings to gain an understanding of the platform and its interaction posbilities (in german): Design Report Prototype 2 Design Report Prototype 3 <strong>Contained Files</strong> <strong>Filename</strong> <strong>Description</strong> annotations.csv Annotations (comment and/or drawings on the video) of video files content.csv Content of sections events.csv All events triggered by user interaction media.csv Uploaded images and videos messages.csv Chat messages sequences.csv Sequences of video files <strong>Columns</strong> (not all are present in each file. 0, “null” or “none” might mean not applicable) <strong>Column name</strong> <strong>Description</strong> <strong>Format</strong> Index (empty column name) unique identifier of the corresponding event in the original dataset UUID (int on rare occasions) Actor-Name Unique identifier of an actor – “MA” identifies project staff string Annotation-ID Unique identifier of an annotation int Annotation-Text Label of an annotation string Version-ID Unique identifier of a version of an auditable object (e.g. a section) int Version-Changelog Changelog message on saving a new version of a section string Case-ID Unique identifier of a case (if applicable, coded by research team) String Media-Caption Title of a media file (image, video) string Media-ID Unique identifier of a media file (image, video) int Media-Timestamp Timestamp in a video int Message-ID Unique identifier of a chat message int Message-Text Content of a chat-message string Object-Type Type of an object an action refers to string Project-ID Unique identifier of a project int Research-Task-Type Type of research task (if applicable, coded by research team, see table below) string Section-Content Content of a section (in a specific version) string Section-Outline-Level Outline level of a section (in a specific version) int Section-ID Unique identifier of a section int Section-Index Position of a section in the project (in a specific version) int Section-Status Status of a section int Section-Title Title of a section (in a specific version) string Sequence-Description Description of a video sequence string Sequence-Duration Length of a video sequence int Sequence-ID Unique identifier of a sequence int Sequence-Timestamp Timestamp of the start of a sequence in a video int timestamp timestamp of an event datetime Verb Action type of an event (see table below) string <strong>Verbs</strong> <strong>Value</strong> <strong>Description</strong> canceled editing of Actor canceled editing of a section clicked Actor clicked a link collapsed Actor collapsed a section (hides its content form being viewed) compared versions of Actor compared two versions of a section created Actor created a new section, video sequence, video annotation, video playback command, project or news deleted Actor deleted a section, video sequence, video annotation, video playback command, project or news ended Actor played a video hitting its end expanded Actor expanded a collapsed section inserted Actor inserted a video comment (on occasions instead of created) left Actor left a context (e.g. a project, a chat window) by e.g. closing it using platform functions, changing a browser tab, etc. mentioned Actor mentioned another actor in a chat message opened Actor opened a context (e.g. a project, a chat window) by e.g. accessing it using platform functions or changing a browser tab paused Actor paused a video played Actor played a video read Actor read an activity message or news read all messages and activities of Actor used switch to mark all chat and activity messages read restored Actor restored a deleted section reverted Actor restored a deleted section reverted version of Actor reverted a section to an earlier version seeked Actor seeked on a video timeline sent Actor sent a chat message started editing of Actor started editing of a section switched Actor switched chat focus between project and section chat typed Actor typed into the chat updated Actor updated an existing section (changing content, heading, heading-depth or status), video sequence, video annotation, video playback command, project or news uploaded Actor uploaded an image or video viewed Actor viewed an entity (had it on screen for 5 seconds), e.g. a section or video comment viewed history of Actor viewed history of a section <strong>Project-ID</strong> <strong>Project-ID</strong> <strong>Case-IDs</strong> <strong>Title</strong> <strong>Type</strong> <strong>Period</strong> 2 a1-a* Urbane Grünflächen Research project 1.11.20-31.3.21 4 b1-b* Nachhaltiger Verkehr Research project 1.11.20-31.3.21 166 c1-c* UGF -
