Study on the changes of performance and learning behavior mode in asynchronous interactive learning

Abstract

As a way of learning, asynchronous interaction has played an important role in the distance teaching. Learning performance in the process of asynchronous interaction will directly affect the learning outcomes. The process of asynchronous interaction learning activity is divided into three stages. We collect the data from the discussion board where students have asynchronous interaction in the different three stages. Social network analysis and content analysis are used for data analysis. The results indicated that the performance of learners and learning behavior mode in the asynchronous interaction were different in different stages of the course development. Teachers need to adopt specific teaching strategies according the differences.
