The aim of this study is to use a commognitive responsibility framework to visualize responsibility shift in collaborative problem solving (CPS) during computer-supported one-to-one tutoring. Commognitive responsibility shift means that individuals’ cognitive responsibility shift can be reflected by the discourse in communication. For our sample, we chose a 15-year-old Chinese boy and his mathematics teacher with 6 years of teaching experience, both of whom have experienced computer-supported learning and teaching mathematics, respectively. We collected four tutoring videos (each 60–90 min; in total, more than 330 min) online, and a 45-min interview video from the teacher. We found that the third type of commognitive responsibility shift in both the teacher’s and student’s CPS behavior online is not only teacher–student comparison but also alternating-led, which includes teacher–student-led (TS) and student–teacher-led (ST).
