متن کاملInteraction in asynchronous discussion forums: peer facilitation techniques
Peer facilitation is proposed as a solution to counter limited interaction in asynchronous online discussions. However, there is a lack of empirical research on online peer facilitation. This study identifies, through cross-case comparison of two graduate-level blended courses attended by Asian Pacific students, the actual peer facilitation techniques that could encourage online interaction. An...
متن کاملCritical Thinking and Socratic Questioning in Asynchronous Mathematics Discussion Forums
The study was an attempt to measure critical thinking in two asynchronous discussion forums in an engineering mathematics unit. The Socratic questioning technique was the moderation strategy employed in the forums. The participants of the study were 60 undergraduates from Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus, enrolled in a mathematics course. Quantitative and qualitative data were...
متن کاملStudents' activity focus in online asynchronous peer learning forums
This qualitative study explores how using Peer Learning Forums (PLF) in an online asynchronous computer programming course can be analyzed to derive information about Student Activity Focus (SAF) for adult Information Technology students. Three instruments are proposed to assist instructors classify questions posted by students on these forums, obtain easy quantitative measures of their SAF, an...
