摘要

在实体课堂中,同伴互动可以激励学生,拓展他们的视野。我们建议同步的同伴互动也可以使大规模的在线课程受益。Talkabout组织学生进入视频讨论小组,并允许教师确定小组组成和讨论内容。使用Talkabout,学生可以选择适合他们日程安排的讨论时间。该系统根据教师的偏好(如性别或地理平衡)将学生分组到小视频讨论中。迄今为止,已有2474名学生在5门大型在线课程中使用Talkabout来讨论从偏见到组织理论的各种话题。讨论话题是多种多样的:在一门课程中,六人讨论组的学生中位数来自四个不同的国家。学生们喜欢在这些不同的小组中进行讨论:学生平均参与66分钟,是课程要求的两倍。地理分布越分散的学生在期末考试中得分也越高,这表明分布式讨论具有教育价值。

Talkabout: small-group discussions in massive global classes
In the physical classroom, peer interactions motivate students and expand their perspective. We suggest that synchronous peer interaction can benefit massive online courses as well. Talkabout organizes students into video discussion groups and allows instructors to determine group composition and discussion content. Using Talkabout, students pick a discussion time that suits their schedule. The system groups the students into small video discussions based on instructor preferences such as gender or geographic balance. To date, 2,474 students in five massive online courses have used Talkabout to discuss topics ranging from prejudice to organizational theory. Talkabout discussions are diverse: in one course, the median six-person discussion group had students from four different countries. Students enjoyed discussing in these diverse groups: the average student participated for 66 minutes, twice the course requirement. Students in more geographically distributed groups also scored higher on the final, suggesting that distributed discussions have educational value.
