The Internet is increasingly being used in higher education in
several countries in the last decade, resulting in online, blended,
and web-enhanced course offerings for students. Instructors who
experiment with computer-mediated communication tools like
discussion forums, chat rooms, and blogs to facilitate course
discussions struggle to combine both online and classroom
discussions effectively. This book presents two models for the
integration of online discussions into the classroom to enhance
student learning. Based on qualitative research in two university
courses that used Blackboard, several benefits of these two models
for instructors and students with different teaching and learning
styles are discussed in this book. It also provides insight into
the role of instructional design, instructor participation, and
instructor feedback in web-enhanced instruction. This book contains
strategies for effectively using and facilitating asynchronous
online discussions that will be of special interest to teachers,
educators, practitioners, trainers, educational technologists, and
curriculum designers seeking to design and implement blended
instruction.
