Title: | The design and implementation of a discussion forum module to function within the architectural constraints of an existing Open Source Software (OSS) learning management system (to meet target-user requirements) | Authors: | Wang, Zhanyu | Keywords: | Instructional systems -- Design;Computer software -- Development;Open source software;Web-based instruction;Educational technology;Education -- Computer network resources | Issue Date: | 2004 | Publisher: | Peninsula Technikon | Abstract: | Higher education and online discussions are an integral part of collaboratively based e-Learning systems. However, there problems can be associated with current online discussion models. For example, it can be easy to set open-ended discussions which attract little participation and to assess contributions can be difficult or time-consuming. Students may not achieve the expected learning outcomes without proper structure and management in online discussions. This paper proposes to design and implement a discussion forum object to function within the architectural constraints of an existing Oss learning management system (to meet target user requirements) that is a web-based environment for online discussions where the facilitator can structure each discussion according to its nature and where learning requirements are using already designed templates. | Description: | Thesis (MTech (Information Technology))--Peninsula Technikon,Cape Town, 2004 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11838/1381 |
