Changing Online Group Project Graduate Course Design and Instruction: Results from a Learning Ecosystem Study

• In Event: STC: Applying Instructional Design Principles for Change in Learners’ Self-Efficacy and Self-Regulation

Short Description

Join us as we present findings from researching seven online graduate courses in a major Canadian university where group learning projects (done across the miles) matter. Finding both enablers and constraints from this study of student self-regulation and instruction, we examine individual and group project self-regulation, relationship and group dynamics along with instructor positive interdependence in communities of inquiry. We will provide surprisingly simple design and instruction guidelines for online learners and designers reshaping online learning ecosystems.
