Guo, Pengyue; Saab, Nadira; Wu, Lin; Admiraal, Wilfried – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Project-based learning (PjBL) engages students in knowledge acquisition, application, and construction through artefact development. Based on the Community of Inquiry framework, this study characterized college students' social and cognitive presences in online PjBL and examined how presence was related to their academic performance. Twenty-four…

Michinov, Nicolas; Anquetil, Éric; Michinov, Estelle – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2020
Peer Instruction is an active learning method widely used in higher education, whereby students answer a series of questions twice, once before and once after peer discussion. There is an ongoing debate as to whether a collective feedback should be given after the students' initial answer, and if so, how the frequently observed group conformity…

Sitthiworachart, J.; Joy, M. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2008
Active learning is considered by many academics as an important and effective learning strategy. Assessment is integrated in learning as a tool for learning, but traditional assessment methods often encourage surface learning (passive learning) rather than deep learning (active learning). Peer assessment is a method of motivating students,…
