CoCo Research Centre

About the Centre

The CoCo Research Centre was created at the University of Sydney in 2003. Our primary goal is research. We study innovative uses of advanced learning technologies, in order to gain a better understanding of learning, teaching, technology and their inter-relationships.

We also contribute to innovation in the use of ICT for learning and teaching within the University, and to the development of professionals who support other people’s learning in the corporate and public sectors. Our professional development opportunities focus on specialists in e-learning, instructional/educational design, knowledge management, organisational development and educational administration, as well as teachers, trainers and lecturers.

Our core themes include:

• computer-supported collaboration, co-operation, and cognition;
• co-construction of knowledge;
• learning in communities of practice;
• communication;
• computation;
• complex learning; and
• conviviality.
