Xiu, Ying; Thompson, Penny – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2020
Video is a rich medium that conveys more social cues than text. Use of video in an online discussion forum therefore has the potential to increase social presence in online learning environments. This experimental study compared a group using video for a portion of the required discussion posts to a group using only text in an online undergraduate…

Chiu, Thomas K. F.; Hew, Timothy K. F. – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2018
Most studies on traditional asynchronous online discussion suggest that facilitating dialogue, that is, commenting forum activities, result in better learning and performance. However, due to open entry and diverse learner backgrounds, learner behaviour in massive open online courses (MOOCs) may be different. Viewing forum messages, which involves…

Alrushiedat, Nimer; Olfman, Lorne – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2014
In recent years, we have observed a rising interest in studying the effects of Web 2.0 technologies on student learning. We learned that human behavior can be influenced by personal and environmental factors as in Bandura's concept of "reciprocal causation." For business statistics students, we implemented online discussions to extend…
