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…
