On-line collaboration is an instructional method that facilitates collaboration in an on-line learning setting. To promote effective collaboration, it is vital to reveal both the student's and the instructor's point of view pertaining to effective on-line collaboration. In this study, the effectiveness of a learning management system in on-line collaboration was first investigated in a graduate course offered through the means of distance learning. In this first phase of this study, the nature of collaboration, the students perceptions of the effectiveness of the tool in on-line collaboration, the factors contributing to effective peer interaction among students and the role of the instructor as perceived by the students in the on-line course were explored. This phase of the study also involved the reviews of other learning management systems, course management systems and groupware systems regarding the tools used to encourage collaboration. Also revealed was a lack of diversity in collaboration tools. Based on these preliminary findings, an on-line document reviewing tool was developed and pilot tested in the second phase of the study. In this phase, a web-based synchronous collaborative review tool called WebSCoRe is proposed to promote online collaboration. WebSCoRe is proposed as an attempt to develop and implement a new platform for on-line document reviewing, to promote effective on-line collaboration among students and the instructor.

Blending online instruction with traditional instruction in the programming language course : a case study Ersoy, Halil; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2003) This study investigated the students̕ perceptions about the web-based learning environment in the blended learning environment in terms of web-based instruction, online collaborative learning and the online instructor. The study tried to show the contributions of the web-based instruction in traditional face-to-face instruction. In this case study, Programming Languages II Course (CEIT211), a undergraduate course at Computer Education and Instructional Technology Department (CEIT), at Middle East Technical ...
A Mobile Teacher Professional Development Course on Digital Game-Enhanced Language Learning Başoğlu, Emrah Baki; Akkuş Çakır, Nur; Department of Curriculum and Instruction (2022-4-21) The purpose of this design and development research study was to develop a mobile teacher professional development (mTPD) course on Digital Game-Enhanced Language Learning (DGELL) and to evaluate this course by investigating language instructors’ perceptions and application of knowledge about DGELL. The mTPD course was designed leveraging mobile learning to offer ultimate accessibility and flexibility to the teachers and it was developed in three iterative cycles with 44 English language instructors. Data w...
Design of a problem-based online learning environment and evaluation of its effectiveness Gündüz, Abdullah Yasin; Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Yaşar, Sevil; Erdem, Mukaddes (2017-07-01) Problem-based learning approach present several advantages such as improving students’ engagement in learning and fostering their higher-order thinking skills. Although there is a plethora of research regarding implementation of problem-based learning in classrooms, its design and application process for web-based environments need further investigation because of independent nature of online settings. This study developed a problem-based online learning environment based on constructivist learning design m...
An intervention framework for design and development of interactive video lectures based on video viewing behaviors: A learning analytics approach Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba; Department of Information Systems (2021-9-7) Video-based learning has become very popular together with the increase in the number of massive open online courses (MOOCs). Learners interacting with video naturally exhibit viewing behaviors based on clickstream interactions such as pause, forward, and backward. These are important inputs to predict learning variables and to develop an intervention framework. However, there is no guideline or method on how to use these behavioral patterns in favor of learners. The purpose of this study is to investigate ...
Using e learning for communities of practice Gürbüz, Tarkan (null; 2010-12-01) Learning is more considered to be a collaborative problem solving process that involves social network relations and a common shared experience. The profound changes demonstrate the essential role of supportive relationship in education and emphasize the importance of building learning communities, communities of practice and collaboration in learning environments. The advent of eLearning added new meaning to education, and introduced the possibilities for building online learning communities and communitie...
