Although dialogue can augment the impact of feedback on student learning, dialogic feedback is unaffordable by instructors teaching large classes. In this regard, peer feedback can offer a scalable and effective solution. However, the existing practices optimistically rely on students' discussion about feedback and lack a systematic design approach. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework of collaborative peer feedback which structures feedback dialogue into three distinct phases and outlines the learning processes involved in each of them. Then, we present a web-based platform, called Synergy, which is designed to facilitate collaborative peer feedback as conceptualised in the theoretical framework. To enable instructor support and facilitation during the feedback practice, we propose a learning analytics support integrated into Synergy. The consolidated model of learning analytics, which concerns three critical pieces for creating impactful learning analytics practices, theory, design and data science, was employed to build the analytics support. The learning analytics support aims to guide instructors' class-wide actions toward improving students' learning experiences during the three phases of peer feedback. The actionable insights that the learning analytics support offers are discussed with examples.

Motivators and Barriers in the Development of Online Communities of Practice BARAN, BAHAR; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2010-01-01) Problem statement: Recently, online Communities of Practice have become a very popular teaching method in teachers' professional development. However, keeping teachers active in these learning environments is a very challenging process. Therefore, investigating this challenge is critical for designing effective online Community of Practice (oCoP) environments for teachers' professional development.
Communication behaviors and trust in collaborative online teams Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Yıldırım, Zahide (2008-01-01) This study investigates preservice teachers' trust levels and collaborative communication behaviors namely leadership, feedback, social interaction, enthusiasm, task and technical uncertainties, and task-oriented interactions in online learning environment. A case study design involving qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis was employed. The sample consisted of 32 (24 female, 8 male) 3rd year foreign language education students who enrolled in the "Instructional Technology and Material D...
Hypermedia as a cognitive tool: Student teachers' experiences in learning by doing Yıldırım, Zahide (2005-04-01) This study investigates student teachers' opinions about learning "instructional technology and material preparation" subjects in a hypermedia-based constructivist learning context. A qualitative case study design was employed. The students of one classroom were the focus of an in-depth investigation by means of interviews, which were designed to elicit these students' perceptions concerning the use of hypermedia as a cognitive tool in the learning process. The study sample consisted of twenty-eight second-...
Mathematical knowledge of two middle school mathematics teachers in planning and teaching pattern generalization GİRİT, DİLEK; Akyüz, Didem (2020-09-01) Examining the knowledge of teachers in practice may shed light on understanding how students learn and finding out why they have difficulty in learning. This paper focused on teachers' knowledge of pattern generalization in instruction with the consideration of students' generalization strategies in planning. The multiple-case study design was used for this study to compare and contrast two middle school mathematics teachers’ lesson planning and instruction. Lesson plans, pre-observation interviews, observa...
Cooperative learning instruction for conceptual change in the concepts of chemical kinetics TAŞTAN KIRIK, ÖZGECAN; Boz, Yezdan (2012-01-01) Learning is a social event and so the students need learning environments that enable them to work with their peers so that they can learn through their interactions. This study discusses the effectiveness of cooperative learning compared to traditional instruction in terms of students' motivation and understanding of chemical kinetics in a high school chemistry course. Participants were 110 eleventh grade students from two different schools. The researchers administered the Reaction Rate Concept Test to me...
