• In Event: Strategies to enhance online discussions

Short Description

This study compared students perceived and actual cognitive presence among case-based and non-case-based online discussions. Data were collected from sixty-six graduate instructional design students through online survey and online discussions. The findings revealed that case-based discussions had statistically significant higher levels of both perceived and actual cognitive presence than non-case-based discussion. Additionally, correlations between perceived cognitive presence reveal a high degree of positive association with both case-based and non-case-based discussions than actual cognitive presence.
