Engineering and re-engineering learning discussion in a fully online unit
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 04:41 authored by Jackson, KD, Norman LawrenceNorman LawrenceOnline discussions are a key feature of many e-learning environments, incorporated for a range of contextualised pedagogical and social reasons. These reasons include the desire to create a sense of learning community where knowledge, experiences and understandings can be shared and co-created, and the opportunity to create a space where higher order thinking and critical reflection can be encouraged. This paper explores the various design issues to be addressed, and decision points, in formulating an effective online discussions program aligned with course objectives that seek to promote higher order thinking and learner engagement.
