Synchrony, or the timing of information as it is exchanged between participants, has garnered increasing study in online learning. Within this domain is bichronous online learning (BOL), the blending of asynchronous and synchronous elements within one learning environment. Some research has identified mobile instant messaging as quasi-synchronous…

Serpil Yorganci – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
Flipped learning has been recognized as a promising pedagogical model for methodological progress in educational environments. Studies have shown the effectiveness of flipped learning when used with appropriate educational technologies and learning strategies. On the other hand, comprehensive guidance is required to combine this pedagogical model…

Borge, Marcela; Aldemir, Tugce; Xia, Yu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2022
We examined the utility of a technologically enhanced collective regulation system for improving students' collaborative sense-making processes, i.e., discussion quality, over time. Participants were 27 online undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory information science course. Students were divided into teams tasked with carrying out…

Zhang, Qing; Peck, Kyle L.; Hristova, Adelina; Jablokow, Kathryn W.; Hoffman, Vicki; Park, Eunsung; Bayeck, Rebecca Yvonne – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2016
Approximately 10% of learners complete Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs); the absence of peer and professor support contributes to retention issues. MOOC leaders often form groups to supplement in-course forums and Q&A sessions, and students participating in groups find them valuable. Instructors want to assist in the formation of groups,…

Sullivan, Florence R.; Hamilton, Claire E.; Allessio, Danielle A.; Boit, Rachel J.; Deschamps, Alexandra D.; Sindelar, Tony; Vargas Ramos, German E.; Randall, Anthony; Wilson, Nicholas; Zhu, Yan – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2011
In this paper we report the results of a study which investigated the affordances of multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) for collaborative learning from a design perspective. Utilizing a mixed methods approach, we conducted a comparative study of the effect of varying representational and interactional design features on a collaborative design…

Collaboration Modality, Cognitive Load, and Science Inquiry Learning in Virtual Inquiry Environments
Erlandson, Benjamin E.; Nelson, Brian C.; Savenye, Wilhelmina C. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
Educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have been shown to be effective platforms for situated science inquiry curricula. While researchers find MUVEs to be supportive of collaborative scientific inquiry processes, the complex mix of multi-modal messages present in MUVEs can lead to cognitive overload, with learners unable to…
