abstract |
With the increased affordances of synchronous communication tools, more opportunities
for online learning to resemble face-to-face settings have recently become available.
However, synchronous communication does not afford as much time for reflection as
asynchronous communication. Therefore, a combination of synchronous and asynchronous
communication in e-learning would seem desirable to optimally support learner engagement
and the quality of student learning. It is still an open question though, how to best
design online learning with a blend of synchronous and asynchronous communication
opportunities over time. Few studies have investigated the relationship between learners'
actual use of synchronous and asynchronous communication over time. Therefore, this
study addressed that relationship in an online course (N = 110), taking into account
student motivation, and employing a dynamic inter-temporal perspective. In line with
our assumptions, we found some support for the expected association between autonomous
motivation and engagement in asynchronous and synchronous communication, be it restricted
primarily to the first course period. Also, positive relations between engagement
in synchronous and asynchronous communication were found, with the strongest influence
from using asynchronous to synchronous communication. This study adds to the knowledge
base needed to develop guidelines on how synchronous communication can be combined
with asynchronous learning. |
