The Exploration of Improving Efficiency of Synchronous Discussion: e-Case Live Show

Abstract

In traditional discussion style, the presentation and discussion of the case is usually led by the team leader, but there are still some members who do not actively participate in the discussion, causing the atmosphere of participation to become disjointed. In order to encourage students actively interactive with instructor and peers, the purpose of the study is to propose an advanced synchronous learning style, e-Case Live Show, which integrates live webcast technique with hosting by turns to support learners’ case-based learning. 58 college students participated in this study. From the research results, we found that students from EG showed significantly higher average scores on Perceived Learning Autonomy and Perceived Interactivity than CG. The e-Case Live Show developed by this study to support case-based learning is indeed better than the traditional TV talk show discussion format for giving learners more autonomy and interactive learning.
