A System for the Evaluation of the Participation of a Student to a Discussion Forum
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2011, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide a tool used in computer mediated communication and designed to support educational experiences. The application is based on the Community of Inquiry model, which consists of three elements: the cognitive presence, the social presence and the teaching presence. Those presences are identified according to certain indicators which define complex patterns that are used by researchers to analyze student messages. The final application implements a rule-based algorithm that evaluates participations to forums according to those patterns. The study suggests that any computerized conference between students can create a community of inquiry for educational purposes.
