Oleksandra Poquet; Sven Trenholm; Marc Santolini – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Interpersonal online interactions are key to digital learning pedagogies and student experiences. Researchers use learner log and text data collected by technologies that mediate learner interactions online to provide indicators about interpersonal interactions. However, analytical approaches used to derive these indicators face conceptual,…

Cheng, Zui; Long, Yishi; Koehler, Adrie A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
Asynchronous online discussions (AODs) are a central component of online courses and have been widely implemented in case-based instruction (CBI). In online CBI, AODs offer learners a medium for making sense of complex problems, as they consider case topics collaboratively with peers and facilitators. Therefore, learners' interactions with others…

Borge, Marcela; Ong, Yann Shiou; Goggins, Sean – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
This paper focuses on evaluating a socio-cultural activity design (SCAD) model for using discussion-based social networking tools as a means to support the development of an online community of learners. Participants included 38 undergraduate students enrolled in a human-centered design course at a large, US university. The SCAD model includes…

Demmans Epp, Carrie; Phirangee, Krystle; Hewitt, Jim; Perfetti, Charles A. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
From massive open online courses (MOOC) to the smaller scale use of learning management systems, many students interact with online platforms that are meant to support learning. Investigations into the use of these systems have considered how well students learn when certain approaches are employed. However, we do not fully understand how course…

Yang, Dazhi; Richardson, Jennifer C.; French, Brian F.; Lehman, James D. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a content analysis model for assessing students' cognitive learning in asynchronous online discussions. It adopted a fully mixed methods design, in which qualitative and quantitative methods were employed sequentially for data analysis and interpretation. Specifically, the design was a…

Bos, Nathan; Shami, N. Sadat – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2006
The rapid acceleration of online course offerings presents a design challenge for instructors who want to take materials developed for face-to-face settings and adapt them for asynchronous online usage. Broadcast lectures are relatively easy to transfer, but adapting content is harder when classes use small-group discussions, as in role-playing or…
