Analysing collaborative learning with DOTEbase

In CSCL research, audiovisual data plays a central role in understanding
collaborative learning processes and fostering methodological advancements, such as the
Mondrian transcription charts and multimodal learning analytics. DOTEbase is a powerful tool
designed to support the systematic analysis of rich audiovisual datasets, empowering
researchers to gain deeper insights into complex learning interactions. This interactive demo
introduces participants to the core functionalities of DOTEbase, including transcript annotation,
media clip creation, and visual mind-mapping through an intuitive canvas interface. Aligned
with the ISLS Annual Meeting 2025 theme, DOTEbase facilitates creative knowledge practices,
collaborative inquiry, and ecosocial innovation by enabling dynamic exploration of learning
environments. Attendees will engage in hands-on demonstrations, explore a case study, and
have discussions about methodological applications in their research contexts. The session will
also offer opportunities to provide feedback and suggest future improvements, fostering
dialogue on the evolving needs of CSCL research and research-practice partnerships.
