Shared regulation processes occur within the field of computer-supported collaborative learning as an emerging field of study. Interest in this field of study is justified by assuming that regulatory processes positively affect the performance of groups and predict satisfactory results in student learning. This article reviews recent research about shared regulation processes in collaborative learning, both in face-to-face contexts and in virtual environments. To that end, prior to do the review, we discuss the importance of shared regulation on collaborative learning mediated by computer and, furthermore, we define shared regulation and distinct it from other processes involved in collaborative learning, in particular from processes of construction of shared knowledge. We highlights, in the conclusions, a set of theoretical and empirical features that define the shared regulation as a field of study and, hereafter, guide future research focused on collaborative learning environments mediated by computer, as well as the design of support to encourage these processes.
