Fink, Heather – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
This study focused on issues of equity related to small-group participation in a distance learning calculus class. Equity is defined as the fair distribution of opportunities for students to participate and learn. I examined how opportunities for mathematical and social participation were constructed through acts of positioning for four students.…

Kellogg, Shaun; Booth, Sherry; Oliver, Kevin – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2014
A recent phenomenon in the MOOC space has been the development of courses tailored to educators serving in K-12 settings. MOOCs, particularly as a form of educator professional development, face a number of challenges. Academics, as well as pundits from traditional and new media, have raised a number of concerns about MOOCs, including the lack of…

Camenga, Kristin A. – PRIMUS, 2013
We discuss a mathematics capstone course designed to help students grow in mathematical independence. We describe how the course is structured to support this goal and the major assignments: a course wiki, a group expository project, and an individual problem to solve and extend. Students learn to ask and answer their own questions, helping them…

Roschelle, Jeremy; Rafanan, Ken; Bhanot, Ruchi; Estrella, Gucci; Penuel, Bill; Nussbaum, Miguel; Claro, Susana – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
Based on strong research literatures, we conjectured that social processing of feedback by cooperating in a small group setting--with social incentives to ask questions, give explanations and discuss disagreements--would increase learning. We compared group and individual feedback, using two technologies: (1) Technology-mediated, Peer-Assisted…

White, Tobin – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2006
This study explores the potential of networked handheld computers to support collaborative problem solving in small groups. Drawing on data from a middle school mathematics classroom equipped with a wireless handheld network, I argue that the sharing of mathematical objects through interactive devices broadens the "bandwidth" of classroom…
