The effectiveness or otherwise of on-line discussion requires students
to actively contribute. For example there are in excess of 4,500 individuals
that are on this list server and not all participate in the discussion.
It is often quoted in papers of on-line learning that "Students do not
use/contribute to on-line systems unless there is an assessment component".
Does anyone know of
* research that has been done in this area? Or
* research into what factors encourage students to participate.
