Jewoong Moon; Laura McNeill; Christopher Thomas Edmonds; Seyyed Kazem Banihashem; Omid Noroozi – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2024
This study explored the dynamics of students' knowledge co-construction in an asynchronous gamified environment in higher education, focusing on peer discussions in college business courses. Utilizing epistemic network analysis, sequence pattern mining, and automated coding, we analyzed the interactions of 1,319 business students. Our findings…

Sher, Noa; Kent, Carmel; Rafaeli, Sheizaf – Education Sciences, 2020
With the growing role of online multi-participant collaborations in shaping the academic, professional, and civic spheres, incorporating collaborative online practices in educational settings has become imperative. As more educators include such practices in their curricula, they are faced with new challenges. Assessment of collaborations,…

Turkkila, Miikka; Lommi, Henri – Education Sciences, 2020
This paper presents two novel network methods developed for education research. These methods were used to investigate online discussions and the structure of students' background knowledge in a blended university course for pre-service teachers (n = 11). Consequently, these measures were used for correlation analysis. The social network analysis…

Sharon Schaaf – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The relationships between social network centrality, social construction of knowledge, and nurse practitioner competency among adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner students participating in asynchronous online discussions were explored. Social network centralities (betweenness, in-degree, out-degree, closeness, and eigenvector) were…

Traxler, Adrienne; Garvin, A.; Lindell, Rebecca – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2018
Discussion forums provide a channel for students to engage with peers and course material outside of class, accessible even to commuter and nontraditional populations. Forums can build classroom community and aid learning, but students do not always take up these tools. We use network analysis to compare three semesters of forum logs from an…

Claros, Iván; Cobos, Ruth; Collazos, César A. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2016
The Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques allow modelling and analysing the interaction among individuals based on their attributes and relationships. This approach has been used by several researchers in order to measure the social processes in collaborative learning experiences. But oftentimes such measures were calculated at the final state…

Michailidis, Nikolaos; Kapravelos, Efstathios; Tsiatsos, Thrasyvoulos – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
Self-regulated learning is an important means of supporting students' self-awareness and self-regulation level so as to enhance their motivation and engagement. Interaction Analysis (IA) contributes to this end, and its use in studying learning dynamics involved in asynchronous Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) activities has…

Luhrs, Cecilia; McAnally-Salas, Lewis – Journal of Interactive Online Learning, 2016
Computer Supported Collaborative Learning literature relates high levels of collaboration to enhanced learning outcomes. However, an agreement on what is considered a high level of collaboration is unclear, especially if a qualitative approach is taken. This study describes how methods of Social Network Analysis were used to design a collaboration…

Iiskala, Tuike; Volet, Simone; Lehtinen, Erno; Vauras, Marja – Frontline Learning Research, 2015
The significance of socially shared metacognitive regulation (SSMR) in collaborative learning is gaining momentum. To date, however, there is still a paucity of research of how SSMR is manifested in asynchronous computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), and hardly any systematic investigation of SSMR's functions and evolution across…

Wicks, David; Craft, Baine B.; Lee, Donghun; Lumpe, Andrew; Henrikson, Robin; Baliram, Nalline; Bian, Xu; Mehlberg, Stacy; Wicks, Katy – Online Learning, 2015
Researchers in a recent study found that online students' ability to self-regulate led to more focused attention and time on task, and in turn, these skills could lead to better learning. Given the need for more theoretical work in this area, as well as the potential practical benefits from the use of these pedagogical strategies, we sought to…

Tirado, Ramón; Hernando, Ángel; Aguaded, José Ignacio – Interactive Learning Environments, 2015
Interactive relationships in online learning communities can influence the process and quality of knowledge building. The aim of this study is to empirically investigate the relationships between network structures and social knowledge building in an asynchronous writing environment through discussion forums in a learning management system. The…

Lambropoulos, Niki; Faulkner, Xristine; Culwin, Fintan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
In the last decade, we have seen the emergence of virtual learning environments. Initially, these environments were a little more than document repositories that tutor used unicast to the students. Informed in part by social constructivist theories of education, later environments included capabilities for tutor-student and student-student,…

Tirado, Ramon; Aguaded, Ignacio; Hernando, Angel – Online Submission, 2011
This article analyses an experience in collaborative learning in an asynchronous writing environment through discussion forums on a WebCt platform of the University of Huelva's virtual campus, and was part of an innovative teaching project in 2007-08. The main objectives are to describe the processes of collaborative knowledge construction and the…

Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Nguyen-Ngoc, Anh Vu – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2010
Purpose: The rising popularity of social software poses challenges to the design and evaluation of pedagogically sound cross-cultural online collaborative learning environments (OCLEs). In the literature of computer-mediated communications, there exist only a limited number of related empirical studies, indicating that it is still an emergent…
