Enhancing Classroom Learning Experience By Providing Structures To Microblogging-Based Activities, Tian Luo, Fei Gao May 2015

Enhancing Classroom Learning Experience By Providing Structures To Microblogging-Based Activities, Tian Luo, Fei Gao

Fei Gao

Microblogging tools such as Twitter have been frequently adopted in educational settings to facilitate learning in recent years. Although the original purpose of microblogging tools is to connect with others in a wide network and instantly share what is happening to them with the rest of the world, educators have vigorously attempted to repurpose the utilization of the tool and integrate it into various educational settings to promote student learning. The purpose of this study is to examine student learning experience under a set of structured microblogging-based activities and to identify the affordances and constraints of the technology. Students participated …


Designing A Discussion Environment To Enhance Connectivity And Sustainability In Asynchronous Online Discussion, Fei Gao May 2015

Designing A Discussion Environment To Enhance Connectivity And Sustainability In Asynchronous Online Discussion, Fei Gao

Fei Gao

Lack of connectivity and sustainability are two common problems in asynchronous online discussions. In this paper, the author proposes that the two problems may have to do with the structure of threaded forums, that is, the design of threaded forums may constrain participants from having well-connected and sustained discussions. A new discussion environment was developed to promote the connectivity and sustainability of discussion in an online course, and an exploratory study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the new environment.

En este trabajo se presenta el "Perfil Formativo aplicable a espacios de enseñanza-aprendizaje CSCL (Computer Supported Collaborative Learning)" que ha emergido del estudio profundo de la asignatura de Arquitectura de Ordenadores de 4º Curso de la titulación de Ingeniería en Telecomunicación en la Universidad de Valladolid durante cuatro cursos académicos. Esta tesis doctoral plantea un conjunto de recomendaciones prácticas experienciales que los practicantes de este tipo de ambientes colaborativos pueden aplicar a sus procesos de diseño y puesta en práctica de espacios CSCL. Del estudio de caso analizado emergen también una propuesta de esquema de diseño de espacios CSCL, y …
