Abstract

Ask any student about their thoughts on group work and the response is likely to be negative. They experience issues around choosing suitable topics/projects/issues, finding a group, getting underway as a group, meeting deadlines, and being assessed for their individual participation. What learning design strategies can be applied to support online collaboration? This case study explores the online collaboration activities of a sampled selection of 72 sites in the learning management system to identify learning design strategies which promote effective collaboration. A framework was developed and applied to provide a consistent approach to the analysis of these sites. The results indicate unique and reusable learning designs that ranged from simple to complex in design.
