Open textbook initiatives have emerged as an alternative to traditional publications, boosting the creation of educational resources based on open licenses. In order to make them sustainable, it is necessary to define strategies for the adoption of these initiatives by the different actors involved in the education institutions where they will be implemented. In this article we present the components of the adoption strategy designed for the LATIn Initiative. In Section 2 we present the relevant background information collected in a state-of-the-art reviewing. We then present in Section 3 the components defined for the Strategy for the Adoption of the LATIn Project. In this respect, in Section 4 we present the main processes defined. Furthermore, in Section 5 we identify the intervention of Actors and Contexts. Finally, in Section 6 we include the Phases of Implementation of the strategy, defined as Initial Phase, Generalization Phase and Institutionalization Phase. In Section 7 we present the Conclusions of this work.

Flipped classroom innovation has attracted the attention of English Language Teaching (ELT) researchers to examine its effectiveness. This inquiry, therefore, elaborates on the effect of flipping (i.e. reversing) individual and collaborative instruction using a WhatsApp application on the cohesive ability of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners as one of the essential elements of writing skills. A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group and a pre-test/post-test design was implemented to find any significant difference between the two combinations. The first group (N=25) was treated using 5 to 10 minutes of cohesion-based video materials and tasks from the WhatsApp group activities of the group members. Meanwhile, the second group (N=25) was treated similarly using individual WhatsApp activities. The findings reveal that the mean score from the collaborative group at 66.17 is higher than the mean score of individual ones at 50.19 with a level of significance <0.05. This means that teaching the topic of cohesion in writing using a flipped approach instruction model through the WhatsApp group turns out to be more effective than the individual one. The results suggest that teaching cohesion using a flipped approach through collaborative WhatsApp learning activities may serve as one of the suitable alternatives to improve EFL learners’ cohesion in writing.

The article presents the concept of collaborative writing or multi-author writing using the example of the novel Black Paris by Jolanta Fuchsówna, a forgotten columnist of the “Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny”, and the avant-garde poet and writer Jan Brzękowski. This interwar novel from 1932 is yet to be published in book form. The specificity of the preserved materials and the manuscript make the concept of collaborative writing the operative one for studying the text and describing these writers’ collaboration.

Research into the potential of collaborative writing is relatively new. Similarly, task repetition (TR), which has been claimed to be a valuable tool for language learning, has been rarely explored in the context of writing. Therefore, little is known about the potential of combining TR and collaborative writing, and even less if we focus on young learners (YLs), who constitute a generally under-researched population. With these research gaps in mind, the present study examines the compositions of 10 pairs of learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) (aged 12) who write the same text in response to the same picture prompt three times over a three-week period. Our analysis includes the language-related episodes (LREs) that learners generate while writing collaboratively and, also, a thorough analysis of the three drafts that students produce, including quantitative (complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF)) and holistic measures. Results show that learners’ compositions improve with repetition when measured by holistic ratings although CAF measures fail to grasp this improvement. As for the LREs, a great amount was found, most of the episodes were focused on form, most were successfully resolved and their amount declined with TR. In light of these results we argue in favor of the inclusion of holistic measures when analyzing students’ productions and discuss the positive effects of collaborative writing in the context of TR with YLs.

This study takes a dynamic approach to investigating engagement, examining fluctuations in cognitive-affective variables at regular time intervals during online collaborative second language (L2) writing tasks. Using online conference software and online editing software, 16 university students who use English as an L2, completed two collaborative problem-solution L2 writing tasks in two communication modes: video-chat and text-chat. After each task, learners viewed videos of their performances in 12 three-minute segments and were asked to rate their engagement on two scales (interest, focus). They were then interviewed about their attributions for fluctuations in their ratings. Group-level analysis revealed that learners experienced significantly higher focus and interest during tasks performed in video-chat mode than text-chat mode. This was contrasted with an analysis from a dynamic perspective, which produced a more nuanced picture of individual engagement trajectories during the tasks. Dynamic patterns of engagement fell into either moderately steady, increasing, decreasing, or rollercoaster pattern categories. A content analysis of 32 interviews revealed four factors that accounted for changes in engagement during tasks: task design (e.g., task familiarity), task process (e.g., instances of collaboration), task condition (e.g., communication mode), and learner factors (e.g., perceptions of proficiency).

This article deals with the issue of assessment in the context of telecollaborative writing activities conducted on synchronous platforms such as Google Docs. Based on the research conducted by the author among secondary school students learning French, the attempt is made to discuss various areas of participants’ activity which can be subjected to assessment: text planning, text composition, project management through comments, linguistic corrections, etc. A conclusion is reached that the outcome of collaborative writing projects is greatly determined by how L2 students engage in the process of writing using Web-based word processing tools. In our opinion, it is impossible to consider the creation of a universal assessment grid suitable for all teaching contexts. Instead, a teacher willing to integrate such activities in his curriculum has to show a great deal of flexibility and adaptability.

I summarize findings from studies conducted over the last 20 years regarding writing and reading on digital devices. In this literature review, the aim is to explore the effects on human cognitive ability of such functions as predictive text suggestions, gesture writing, collaborative writing, and visual-syntactic text formatting (VSTF). I also consider how writing patterns can be used. Studies have shown that auto-suggestions can significantly change the final message and make it less original. The way in which the content is displayed has a huge impact on how it is perceived. VSTF promotes careful reading, improves memory, and facilitates text analysis in older students. Comparing handwriting to writing using digital devices has demonstrated the importance of visual aspects for the recognition and copying of letters. Handwritten notes improve memory and stimulate deeper levels of cognitive function. The use of VSTF and co-editing documents can be most beneficial to low-level language learners. A more in-depth analysis is needed of emotions' impact on forms of collaboration as well as the efficiency and multimodality of text input on comprehension.

Celem artykułu jest poszukiwanie odpowiedzi na pytanie, na ile digitalizacja procesu nauczania-uczenia się pozwala na przeniesienie i realizację koncepcji dydaktycznych w nauczaniu hybrydowym. Postrzegając przekazywanie wiedzy jako stałą antropologiczną na przykładzie pisania blogów i wykorzystania leksykonów internetowych na lekcji języka niemieckiego, autor dowodzi, że wspólny tekst daje możliwość stworzenia zrębów wspólnoty socjalnej w przestrzeni wirtualnej. Jako przykład realizacji projektu rozwijania kompetencji pisania zespołowego wykorzystana została w artykule Wikipedia, by w dalszej kolejności na przykładzie platform internetowych omówić najważniejsze kwestie związane z nauczaniem hybrydowym jako nowym doświadczeniem socjalnym. W dalszej kolejności, odwołując się do założeń dydaktyki krytyczno-konstruktywnej Wolfganga Klafki, autor wykazuje, że dydaktyka hybrydowa – dzięki technice transferu – z powodzeniem wychodzi naprzeciw nowym wyzwaniom.

This paper addresses the existing concepts in didactics and asks if they can be transferred to a new and hybrid learning experience. Considering that the construction of knowledge is based on a technique that is universal to human anthropology, there is an essential social dimension in learning and working together on texts in the digital space. The example for that is the usage of blogs and wikis in German lessons.The author starts off by explaining the use of Wikipedia to illustrate the idea of collaborative writing. Next, he discusses some consequences of the use of digital platforms in schools and goes on to address the problems of the digital shift in teaching and of hybrid learning from a critical-constructive perspective (kritisch-konstruktive Didaktik), as developed by Wolfgang Klafki. Finally, he submits that the existing concepts in the field of didactics can be transferred to the new social experience of teaching/learning in virtual lessons.

In diesem Beitrag wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwiefern sich im Prozess der Digitalisierung des Lernens bestehende didaktische Konzepte auf eine hybride Lernerfahrung übertragen lassen. Ausgehend von der Überlegung, dass Wissensvermittlung als anthropologische Konstante zu betrachten ist, wird am Beispiel vonBlogs und Wikis im Deutschunterricht gezeigt, dass ein gemeinsamer Text die Möglichkeit bietet, das soziale Miteinander des Lernens in einer virtuellen Repräsentation zumindest grundlegend abzubilden.Um diesen Gedanken zu entwickeln, wird zunächst die Wikipedia als Beispiel für ein kooperatives Schreibprojekt aufgegriffen. Mit Blick auf digitale Lernplattformen werden dann Folgen der neuen sozialen Erfahrung und des hybriden Lernens dargestellt. Anknüpfend an eine kritisch-konstruktive Didaktik nach Wolfgang Klafki wird schließlich davon ausgegangen, dass auch eine hybride Didaktik dem Neuen mit der Technik des Transfers begegnen kann.
