Thoms, Brian – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2011
In this research, we examine the design, construction, and implementation of a dynamic, easy to use, feedback mechanism for social software. The tool was integrated into an existing university's online learning community (OLC). In line with constructivist learning models and practical information systems (IS) design, the feedback system provides…

Tavangarian, Djamshid; Leypold, Markus E.; Nölting, Kristin; Röser, Marc; Voigt, Denny – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2004
Despite the fact that e-Learning exists for a relatively long time, it is still in its infancy. Current e-Learning systems on the market are limited to technical gadgets and organizational aspects of teaching, instead of supporting the learning. As a result the learner has become deindividualized and demoted to a noncritical homogenous user. One…
