Collaborative Computing Observation Instrument (C-COI)

The Collaborative Computing Observation Instrument (C-COI) is an observation instrument used in conjunction with video screen capture software. It allows researchers to observe videos of students’ computer screens and listen to their conversations as they engage in computer programming.

With the C-COI, researchers can analyze areas such as time on task, students’ collaborative problem solving, social behaviors, persistences, and help-seeking/giving behaviors.
