Exploring technology supported collaborative and cooperative group formation mechanisms

This paper reflects on the systematic literature review paper (in progress), which analyzes technology enhanced collaborative and cooperative learning in elementary education worldwide from 2004 to 2015, focusing on the exploration of technology mediated group formation. The review paper reports on only few cases of technology supported methods of group formation, since in the majority of analyzed papers groups are mostly formed before the activity by teachers or researchers. This paper suggests a novel approach by proposing an adaptive model for technology supported group formation.
