Online Course Cultural Treasures: Dialogic Narratives

• In Event: CLT- Equity & Learning Access (h)

Short Description

The presentation recounts a mixed methods study grounded in Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism to explore the relationship between dialogic narratives and online student interactions, participation, and collaboration. An instructor-researcher chronicled adding dialogic narratives to the students’ discussions in traditional classrooms and then looked at historic data to see if online courses and program could incorporate these tools to benefit struggling students.
