Abstract: This study aimed to design, develop and evaluate a video-based tool to facilitate socioemotional regulation in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) environments. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of socially shared regulation of learning, with a specific focus on socioemotional regulation, the study investigated the major socioemotional regulation components in challenging situations within CSCL. The research questions examined the socioemotional challenges that occur, how students implemented socioemotional regulation strategies during these challenges, and how the video-based tool facilitated the recognition of socioemotional challenges and the need for regulation. The study involved data from text and video activities collected from 40 students from one university in Iran during three phases of experimental session to assess their reasoning skills regarding components of socioemotional regulation in terms of regulating challenges in online environment. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, utilising rating-scaled items and qualitative data collection methods. The findings contributed to the understanding of effective strategies for supporting socioemotional regulation in CSCL, provide insights into students' awareness and regulation of socioemotional challenges, and inform the design of interventions and tools for promoting positive collaboration.
