Abstract

The issue of promoting quality interactions in computer conferencing appears to be complex. It involves the concerns on instructional methods, moderating strategies, course structure, and leadership. This study investigated the importance of another factor: learning strategies. A mixed methods approach was used to explore students’ strategy use to engage in quality interactions in computer conferencing. Quality interaction in this study was defined as students being able to construct knowledge by engaging in active interactions with others and deep information processing. The findings identify several learning strategies contributing to students’ quality interactions in computer conferencing. Those strategies include online class preparation strategies, strategies to identify relevant information, strategies to process information in computer conferencing, strategies to process printed materials, strategies to keep learning on track, strategies to organize learning, and strategies to avoid internal and external distractions.
