Abstract

Research has shown that discussion forums add value to traditional and online classroom experiences. However, while many instructors embrace discussion forums to add interactivity in online courses as well as encourage class-room activity outside of class, individually reading and manually grading student discussion posts can be a daunting and time consuming process for the instructor. The purpose of this pilot research study was to utilize data mining techniques to assess asynchronous discussion forums and examine its effectiveness between those individualized manually graded.
