I guess it is about figuring out the right language to frame my question. Perhaps selecting a collaborative model that I want to compare with knowledge building?<br /><br />I think I am really interested in the learning design and in particular solving the problem of engagement in the online space. There are a number of barriers: limited contact time with students, student isolation, students' unfamiliarity with the subject, being external to the students' face to face environment.<br />So maybe I need to frame the question around learning design which enhances student engagement in the online environment.<br /><br />Food for thought.Philippa Mallinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534972739090151663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679906495672774031.post-25887867548148206352017-08-02T20:35:03.300-07:002017-08-02T20:35:03.300-07:00Darren told me you have developed a few inquiry qu...Darren told me you have developed a few inquiry questions...<br /><br />Just a quick thought:<br /><br />How big is your lit review? The reason I am asking is that the first question seems to be too broad. What do you mean by the 21st century technologies? Are you talking about communication technologies, mobile technologies, game-based technologies? And there are many constructivist models supported by the use of technologies. Also, student motivation and engagement have been extensively studied. And thus a lot to read...<br /><br />The second question assumes that technologies (collaborative tools) can affect learning/knowledge building (epistemic agency). Is it really the case? Or is the learning design (pedagogy) you are really interested in?<br /><br />The third question I think is more focused. The concept self-efficacy is related to agency so it will be interesting to see the connection.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212443567992108034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679906495672774031.post-42650576502824862582017-08-02T00:28:06.449-07:002017-08-02T00:28:06.449-07:00I like the questions, but could you open them up e...I like the questions, but could you open them up even more by looking at why they work ie the part of the brain that is engaged or what evidence is there to show higher achievement? These questions are good, my favourite is question 1 by the way as I think it's the broadest one that gives you the most scope. Literature reviews always seem to open up more questions than the ones you started with so maybe being more specific is better if you don't want to be side tracked, having said that I think getting side tracked is the best bit of a lit review so that's why I like question 1.

To what extent...also allows more evaluative conclusions and rewired a critical response. <br />Just a quick thought.Marg Macphersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215582095705616796noreply@blogger.com
