Using content and process scaffolds for collaborative discourse in asynchronous learning networks
Discourse, a form of collaborative learning, is one of the most widely used methods of teaching and learning in the online environment. Particularly, in large courses, discourse needs to be 'structured' to be effective. Historically, technology-mediated learning (TML) research has been inconclusive …

The effects of digital audio on social presence, motivation and perceived learning in asynchronous learning networks
… motivation was a stronger indicator of perceived learning and satisfaction than social presence. In particular, extrinsic motivation measured by perceived usefulness was the strongest indicator of perceived learning and satisfaction. Between the two digital audio formats, the narrated Microsoft …

Dynamic measuring tools for online discourse
When evaluating participation within an Asynchronous Learning Network (ALN), current best practices include counting messages and reviewing participant surveys. To understand the impact of more advanced dynamic measurement tools for use within an ALN, a web-based tool, known as iPET (the integrated …

An investigation into the initial adoption of e-learning innovation in teaching and learning: the case of Makerere University
E-learning is the use of electronic devices and networks to engage in synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. E-learning is being increasingly adopted in higher educational institutions. Research in this area has tended to focus on innovations and implementations and little has been done …

System design and architecture of an online, adaptive, and personalized learning platform
The author proposes that personalized learning can be brought to traditional and nontraditional learners through a new type of asynchronous learning platform called Guided Learning Pathways (GLP). The GLP platform allows learners to intelligently traverse a vast field of learning resources, …
