Schellens, Tammy; Van Keer, Hilde; De Wever, Bram; Valcke, Martin – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2007
This article describes the impact of learning in asynchronous discussion groups on students' levels of knowledge construction. A design-based approach enabled the comparison of two successive cohorts of students (N = 223 and N = 286) participating in discussion groups for one semester. Multilevel analyses were applied to uncover the influence of…
