Team-based learning (TBL) is one pedagogy used to promote active learning. While TBL was initially implemented in the face-to-face classroom, there is a growing need for collaborative pedagogies in online classrooms. Course delivery in an online classroom may include a variety of formats and be accompanied by challenges related to the transition…

Students' social experience in fully online learning is critical to academic success. However, little is known about students' experience in online asynchronous education, particularly regarding social presence, knowledge building, and collaborative learning. In a constructivist grounded theory study, 22 graduate students enrolled in library and…

This research aims to develop an online Project-Based Collaborative Learning (PBL) model design by utilizing an asynchronous Online Discussion Forum (ODF) that can systematically direct teachers or lecturers as facilitators in learning, and how experts think about the design. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method, this design was…

In this article, we present the asynchronous phases of digital mathematical discussions conducted along a didactic path on proof through the use of algebraic language with Grade 9 classes. We aim at characterising the digital environments where these discussions unfold (chat and Padlet) by examining students' asynchronous interactions, through the…

An in-depth analysis of collaborative problem solving (CPS) patterns contributes to understand team dynamics and effective paths to conflict resolution. However, there remains the lack of a perspective in the field of CPS research that organically combines the cognitive, meta-cognitive, and social-communicative dimensions. Moreover, the analysis…

Sense of belonging is associated with postsecondary student success outcomes and has largely been studied within face-to-face course contexts. The increasing demand for online courses after the COVID-19 pandemic necessitates identifying ways instructors can foster belonging in their online courses. This study experimentally tested the effect of…

This study investigates student interaction and engagement in Twitter-supported collaborative learning, focusing on cognitive and socio-emotional processes, their evolution, and their impact on knowledge construction and group project outcomes within a higher education flipped classroom context. Utilising mixed methods analysis, including…

With the traditional jigsaw technique, small groups are formed with each student having a piece of information needed to complete the assignment. Next, groups of students with the same information meet to explore their material before returning to their home group to complete the assignment. This study sought to determine the efficacy of a…

Online collaborative learning (OCL) based on the community of inquiry (CoI) framework is often implemented in the form of an online discussion activity for teaching subjects that require learners to revise their understandings and invent ways to solve problems. However, implementing OCL is challenging due to the difficulty of fostering…

During the two-year COVID-19 pandemic, lecturers must train themselves with information technology, assessment, and teaching expertise in order to move from face-to-face learning to virtual online learning. As a result, the current study aims to investigate the effect of student motivation on grouping e-learning in the ethics and civilization…

Much has been written about telecollaboration, though there is less research specifically on the precise affordances of computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies used in telecollaborative projects. There are even fewer studies that investigate the affordances of CMC from the perspective of the community of inquiry (CoI) model, which…

Introduction: This study evaluated a Virtual Exchange (VE) project based on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to connect students and faculty across five universities from the USA, Brazil, Honduras, and Algeria. Methods: A four-week program combined synchronous and asynchronous activities, allowing for flexible, self-selected…

Being described as two sides of one coin, language and culture are increasingly recommended to be inseparably addressed. Thanks to technological advances, this is now more feasible than before. In response, this study examined the comparative effects of synchronous and asynchronous telecollaborative digital media projects (DMPs) on learners'…

This design case describes the design of a multimodal learning environment that took place in the context of a funded study on the development of an online, multimodal, and tangible cross-border exchange program aimed at creating experiences that closely simulate face-to-face study abroad (SA) experiences in the post-pandemic context. Although…
