Using Personal Learning Environments in Online Discussion Forums

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

Does using a more informal, personalized online learning environment in online classroom discussion forums result in changes in motivation, engagement, perceived learning, ease of use, and satisfaction among participants?  This study will explore and compare student responses and preferences within an online discussion forum when conducted in a learning management system (e.g. WebCT or Blackboard) versus an environment more typical of students’ daily non-educational Internet use (e.g. Google Groups or Facebook).
