Student Attitudes Toward and Participation In Electronic Discussions - Sean Williams and Cindy Pury
Abstract: This paper reports the findings of a study conducted on Clemson University’s electronic collaboration tool “Collaborative Learning Environment” (CLE) in order to determine student opinion of the proprietary collaboration tool, and specifically why students didn’t collaborate with each other but instead repeated the teacher-as-questioner and student-as-answerer paradigm. Data was collected through an electronic survey on these five questions to determine student opinion: 1) how many topics students read; 2) how many replies students posted; 3) how often students used the discussion feature to ask questions or address controversial topics; 4) how much students like the discussion feature; 5) how much fun online discussion was for students.
