Abstract

This paper discusses methodological considerations in research investigating processes of asynchronous online learning. It challenges existing conceptualisations of online discourse which foreground the cognitive dimension of computer-mediated interactions. Informed by two studies about online university courses at the Open University, UK and the University of Otago, NZ, the paper emphasises the need to re-examine the relationship between the cognitive, the social and the affective aspects of shared work. Based on socio-cultural theorising, it calls for a new framework for the analysis of online discourse which recognizes these three aspects as closely interlinked and central in the process of shared knowledge building.
