abstract |
Pedagogically informed designs of learning are increasingly of interest to researchers
in blended and online learning, as learning design is shown to have an impact on student
behaviour and outcomes. Although learning design is widely studied, often these studies
are individual courses or programmes and few empirical studies have connected learning
designs of a substantial number of courses with learning behaviour. In this study
we linked 151 modules and 111.256 students with students’ behaviour (<400 million
minutes of online behaviour), satisfaction and performance at the Open University
UK using multiple regression models. Our findings strongly indicate the importance
of learning design in predicting and understanding Virtual Learning Environment behaviour
and performance of students in blended and online environments. In line with proponents
of social learning theories, our primary predictor for academic retention was the
time learners spent on communication activities, controlling for various institutional
and disciplinary factors. Where possible, appropriate and well designed communication
tasks that align with the learning objectives of the course may be a way forward to
enhance academic retention. |
