Abstract: | This paper reports some of the findings of a case study investigation of undergraduate student learning in online discussions
within a campus-based business course in New Zealand. The project explored predominantly Net Gener students’ perceptions of
the differences between face-to-face and online discussions and the role of these differences in their learning. The study
found that the students regarded the two environments as different but complementary for their learning and identified the
features of each discussion environment that supported their learning. A complementary framework, based on these student perspectives
is presented. These findings and the framework provide teachers and course designers with a new evidence-based approach for
including effective face-to-face and online discussions for Net Gener and other students within their courses. |
