Abstract

In online learning at scale, wherein instructional videos play a central role, interactive tools are often integrated to counteract passive consumption. For example, the forum or discussion board is widely used, and an emerging functionality, danmaku, which enables messages to be synchronized with video playback, has also been utilized recently. To explore how mass participation is accommodated and what categories of interaction learners implement, this study utilizes analysis of interaction and manual content analysis through learner-generated text data from two specific tools employed in a massive open online course (MOOC) setting: the discussion board (N = 739) and danmaku (N = 2435). Results of the analysis of interaction indicate that mass participation is managed differently by the tools: danmaku fosters a collective space for massive participants, while the discussion board organizes them into threaded small groups. In addition, results of the content analysis show danmaku primarily supports indirect interaction with a focus on the socio-emotional dimension, while the discussion board serves as a platform for direct discussions, particularly in the cognitive dimension. Furthermore, within the context of large-scale engagement, various levels of joint interaction, in addition to collaboration, are discerned and discussed in both socio-emotional and cognitive interactions. The findings offer insights for developing sociable and scalable socio-technical environments in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL), addressing emerging educational trends. Practical implications for educational design based on these findings are also discussed.

将 Danmaku 和讨论板结合起来:为 MOOC 中的大规模协作打造可扩展的社交环境
在大规模在线学习中,教学视频发挥着核心作用,互动工具往往被整合在一起,以抵消被动消费。例如,论坛或讨论板被广泛使用,最近还出现了一种新兴的功能--danmaku,它能使信息与视频播放同步。为了探究大规模参与是如何实现的,以及学习者实现了哪些类别的互动,本研究利用了互动分析和人工内容分析,通过在大规模开放在线课程(MOOC)环境中使用的两个特定工具中学习者生成的文本数据进行分析:讨论板(N = 739)和 "danmaku"(N = 2435)。互动分析的结果表明,这两种工具对大规模参与的管理方式不同:danmaku 为大规模参与者提供了一个集体空间,而讨论板则将他们组织成线程式小组。此外,内容分析结果表明,danmaku 主要支持间接互动,侧重于社会情感维度,而讨论板则作为直接讨论的平台,尤其侧重于认知维度。此外,在大规模参与的背景下,除了合作之外,在社会情感和认知互动中还发现和讨论了不同程度的联合互动。这些发现为在计算机支持的协作学习(CSCL)中开发可交际、可扩展的社会技术环境提供了启示,有助于应对新兴的教育趋势。此外,还讨论了基于这些发现的教育设计的实际意义。

期刊介绍: An official publication of the International Society of the Learning Sciences, the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (IJCSCL) fosters a deep understanding of the nature, theory, and practice of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). The journal serves as a forum for experts from such disciplines as education, computer science, information technology, psychology, communications, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and business. Articles investigate how to design the technological settings for collaboration and how people learn in the context of collaborative activity.
