Cheng, Jiaming; Lei, Jing – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2021
Student-student interaction can benefit learning as well as provide a sense of community in online courses. Blogging is a common approach to provide opportunities for students to communicate with each other. This study used Social Network Analysis to depict commenting behaviour between students in an online graduate-level course. By examining the…

Pedagogies of Inclusion: A Critical Exploration of Small-Group Teaching Practice in Higher Education
Gibbs, Jacqueline; Hartviksen, J.; Lehtonen, A.; Spruce, E. – Teaching in Higher Education, 2021
This paper provides a critical examination of inclusion as a pedagogic principle through a practice-based interrogation of contemporary 'good practice' strategies for encouraging inclusion in small-group teaching. The analysis emerges from our experiences of delivering four classroom exercises that are frequently proposed as strategies for…

Öztok, Murat – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2016
Learning scientists and the CSCL community have argued that knowledge construction is a process of collective thinking; a process that is simultaneously personal and social that requires group cognition. However, while CSCL researchers have investigated situated knowledge in the process of collective thinking, little work has been done to fully…

WaiShiang, Cheah; Mit, Edwin; Halin, Alfian Abdul – International Journal of Technology in Teaching and Learning, 2016
One pressing issue in resource constrained schools is the lack of access to computer facilities for learning. A single display groupware (SDG) is explored in this paper to provide an alternative solution for this limitation where it allows multiple users to work concurrently on a single computer display. This study aims to investigate the…

Calvani, Antonio; Fini, Antonio; Molino, Marcello; Ranieri, Maria – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
Online education based on small self-managing groups, with slight supervision by a professional tutor, is a strategically interesting methodology for lifelong learning. This solution may combine aspects of cost-effectiveness (reducing tutors' work) with the demands for active and engaging learning methods based on the exchange and sharing of…

De Wever, B.; Van Keer, H.; Schellens, T.; Valcke, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
This article examines the impact of the introduction of roles and the added value of self-assessment on students' level of knowledge construction in online asynchronous discussions in a first-year university course in instructional sciences. Students' postings in 20 discussion groups were used as the research data for this study. All messages,…

Pfister, H.-R.; Oehl, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
Net-based collaborative learning discourses often suffer from deficiencies such as lack of coherence and coordination. It is suggested that the provision of two functionalities, referencing and typing, which learners may optionally use to ground their contributions during a chat-based discourse, can improve collaborative learning. In particular,…

Du, Jianxia; Xu, Jianzhong – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2010
This study examined online group discussion from students' perspectives to determine what characteristics students identify as meaningful to their online learning. Participants were 142 graduate students in the Southeast. The multiple regression results revealed that quality of online discussion was positively associated with communication media,…

Chiu, Chiung-Hui; Hsiao, Hsieh-Fen – Computers & Education, 2010
This study explored the differences among online elementary school student groups based on their communication features. Two hundred and ninety-one Taiwanese students, ranging in age from 11 to 12 years old, participated in this study. The students were randomly arranged within-class into three-member groups. Each group was asked to use a…

Jeong, Allan; Lee, JeongMin – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2008
This study examined how message-response exchanges produced in the interactions between active learners only, reflective learners only, active-reflective learners and reflective-active learners affected how often active versus reflective learners posted rebuttals to arguments and challenges across four types of exchanges that believed to promote…

Bayazit, Nermin; Clarke, Pier Angeli Junor; Vidakovic, Draga – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2018
The authors report on three students' argumentative knowledge construction in an asynchronous online graduate level geometry course designed for in-service secondary mathematics (ISM) teachers. Using Weinberger and Fischer's framework, they analyzed the ISM teachers' (a) geometry autobiography and (b) discussion board posts (both comments and…

Yang, Yu-Fen; Yeh, Hui-Chin; Wong, Wing-Kwong – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
As proposed by social constructive theorists, meaningful learning and individual development were achieved through social interaction. To foster social interaction among students, this study formed an online learning community in which they played multiple roles as writers, editors and commentators. In playing different roles, they read peers'…

Lonchamp, Jacques – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2009
CSCL systems which follow the dual-interaction spaces paradigm support the synchronous construction and discussion of shared artifacts by distributed or colocated small groups of learners. The most recent generic dual-interaction space environments, either model based or component based, can be deeply customized by teachers for supporting…

Çelik, Servet – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2013
Course instructors across a wide range of disciplines have implemented computer-based learning resources such as online discussion boards. While the benefits of implementing an online discussion board in teaching have been well-documented, investigation into the social aspects of online learning environments is still needed in order to develop a…

Turel, Ofir; Zhang, Yi – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2010
Due to the increased importance and usage of self-managed virtual teams, many recent studies have examined factors that affect their success. One such factor that merits examination is the configuration or composition of virtual teams. This article tackles this point by (1) empirically testing trait-configuration effects on virtual team…
