Abstract
The origins of CSILE (Computer Supported Intentional Learning Environments) are in research
on knowledge building, on the nature of expertise, and on the socio-cultural dynamics of
innovation. CSILE was designed to (a) make advanced knowledge processes accessible to all
participants, including children, (b) foster the creation and continual improvement of public
artifacts or community knowledge (Scardamalia, 2002), and (c) provide a community space for
carrying out this knowledge building work collaboratives. Its evolution to the second-generation
knowledge building environment known as Knowledge Forum, its distinctive character, and the
theoretical ideas behind it will become clearer in the descriptions that follow.
