Virtual learning environments have the potential to support students' development of design skills in engineering education. However, few approaches exist for modeling and measuring design learning as it emerges in authentic practices, which often includes collaboration. This study merges learning sciences research with engineering design…

Wright, Steve; Parchoma, Gale – Research in Learning Technology, 2011
How is the link between learner and technology made in mobile learning? What is the value of the concept of "affordances"? And how does research articulating this concept act to position mobile devices as "technologies for learning"? This literature review used both unstructured and structured search samples of published research on mobile…

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…

Myllari, Jarkko; Ahlberg, Mauri; Dillon, Patrick – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
This paper reports a 5-year design experiment on cumulative knowledge building as part of an international project. Through a longitudinal study and analysis of cumulative research data, we sought to answer the question, "what happened and why in knowledge building?" Research data constitute messages which participants have written into a shared…

Buckingham Shum, Simon; Ferguson, Rebecca – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
We propose that the design and implementation of effective "Social Learning Analytics (SLA)" present significant challenges and opportunities for both research and enterprise, in three important respects. The first is that the learning landscape is extraordinarily turbulent at present, in no small part due to technological drivers.…

Macfadyen, Leah P.; Dawson, Shane – Computers & Education, 2010
Earlier studies have suggested that higher education institutions could harness the predictive power of Learning Management System (LMS) data to develop reporting tools that identify at-risk students and allow for more timely pedagogical interventions. This paper confirms and extends this proposition by providing data from an international…

Thorpe, Mary; McCormick, Robert; Kubiak, Chris; Carmichael, Patrick – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2007
Computer-mediated conferencing has been adopted, particularly for purposes of online course provision, as a method that can deliver community. Widespread interest in a communities-of-practice approach within both informal and formal learning has strengthened perceptions of the value of creating a community online. A case study of asynchronous…
