Students learn better with ICT?Students learn better with ICT?
1. Impact of educational media big to students of medium range academically
less to students of high ability or low ability2. Online learning result blended > face to face > online3. Students prefers ICT instruction 4. Online learning is to support (compensation) for face to face : not alternative, replacement 5. Higher edu. Students showed preference over online learning
How to use interactive technology How to use interactive technology for education?for education?
1. > 50 percent of messages were reactive. 2. Only around 10 percent were truly interactive. 3. Most messages factual stmts or opinions 4. Many also contained questions or requests. 5. Frequent participators more reactive than low. 6. Interactive messages more opinions & humor. 7. More self-disclosure involvement & belonging. 8.

How students behave differently? StuHow students behave differently? Study of online discussiondy of online discussion
(Im & Lee, 2003)(Im & Lee, 2003)
Subjects : 40 none traditional studentsData from online class of cyber university• Synchronous discussion: 2820 postings from 21 students over 5 sessions• Asynchronous discussion: 336 postings from 39 students over 13 class h
ours
Methodology• Modified from Henri’s, Bonk’s, Orvis et al.’s, and Curtis & Lawson’s analysi
s methods• Classified by
• 3 Types of content • 5 Discussion development stages
• Cross analyzed by • gender, age, time
Summary of FindingsSummary of Findingsusage • synch social bond formation comm. • asynch task-oriented comm.
overall, female students were more activeyoungest group most active in syncholdest group most active in asynchIn synch online discussion, it doesn’t develop toward more meaningful learning stage as time flows (remains at the level of social bond formation stage)In synch. Discussion, typing skill is very crucial factor for active participation.

Students from blended learning -discussion/Q&A Students from online learning - VOD. E-learning can work as a complement for each instructional en
vironment toward blended learning.
Students with more experiences of e-learning spend more time in studying.
Students, faculty and staff felt higher burden at e-learning. Students perceived so although their working hours at e-learning were similar to that at face-to-faced instruction.
Majority of students were satisfied with their e-learning experience, and as they had more experience, they got more satisfied. Over the half of faculty and staff were dissatisfied.
Faculty’s expectation on students’ academic achievement level in e-learning was lower than that of face-to-faced classes.
Faculty, staff and students showed willingness to participate in e-learning again
Faculty’s willingness was the highest despite of their lower satisfaction and lower expectation on students’ academic achievement.
Many students perceived the appropriate tuition level for e-learning should be below 50 % of that for traditional classroom courses, while they demand for better contents, management, and control of class size.
ImplicationsImplicationsEducation with technology is well received• High satisfaction level • Online learning – complementary to F2F learning• Pedagogy paradigm shift – learner centered, constructivism
Online learning is costly • Education with technology costs more• Expectation of online learning is cost saving
Important instructor’s pivotal role as ever
Understanding the use of technology• different educational purpose of online discussions.• Synchronous discussion for building more affective and social online comm
unity. • Actual learning and knowledge achievement benefits from asynchronous di
scussion.
Communication skills for online learning• Useful methods should be recommended to encourage male students
Tools to facilitate e-discussion• guiding students, • giving prompt inputs & feedback, • wrapping up, • providing resources to support discussions
