Résumé / Abstract: The importance of collaborative distance learning and problem-solving was particularly highlighted by the global pandemic crisis. Immersive technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, have the potential to provide some of the benefits of face-to-face learning and problem-solving. But to understand the impact of VR and other immersive technologies on learning and problem-solving, we need to consider ways of measuring it. This requires us to consolidate existing work from different domains: computer-supported cooperative work, with a focus on collaboration using immersive technologies (such as in VR or using multi-display environments), and on collaborative problem-solving, a topic that spans disciplines such as education. The goal of this thesis is to first collect measures that attempt to capture different aspects of collaboration and that are often multimodal in nature. And to then validate these measures in diverse immersive problem-solving and learning settings. Our goal is to provide the community with a set of existing or adapted measures that are well adapted for measuring the impact of collaboration.
