摘要

目的在一门在线异步课程中,学生的参与度可能很难培养。本文旨在鼓励学生在这样一门课程中进行互动,这是任何专业或普通教育计划都不需要的,作者认为,使用额外的学分活动可以增加学生的互动和参与度。设计/方法/方法学生有机会完成几种不同类型的额外学分活动,获得少量额外学分,总学分为学生课程成绩的5%。活动包括个人活动,如玩简短的在线信息扫盲游戏,以及合作活动,包括在讨论论坛上发帖和回复。结果令人失望;在样本中,17名学生中只有2人完成了额外的学分活动,而那些这样做的学生无论是否完成了额外学分,都会获得高分。这可能是由于每次活动可获得的额外积分数量少、缺乏动力和其他问题。对这一主题的进一步研究可能有助于解决这些问题。原创性/价值虽然这项研究的结果并不是人们所希望的,但这些结果和方法可能对其他在线讲师有用,对寻找与学生互动的新方式的学分库课程也有用。

Engagement in an online library class: using extra credit activities to encourage student interaction
Purpose Student engagement can be a difficult thing to nurture in an online, asynchronous course. This paper aims to try to encourage a student interaction in such a course, one that additionally is not a requirement for any major or general education plan, the author argues that using extra credit activities can increase student interaction and engagement. Design/methodology/approach Students were given the opportunity to complete extra credit activities of several different types for a small number of extra credit points, the total of which was 5% of the students’ grade in the course. Activities included solo activities, such as playing short online information literacy games and collaborative activities that included posting and responding in a discussion forum. Findings The results were disappointing; only 2 out of 17 students in the sample completed extra credit activities, and those that did so would have received high grades whether or not they completed extra credit. This may be due to the low number of extra credit points available per activity, lack of motivation and other issues. Further study on this topic could help resolve these issues. Originality/value While the results of this study were not what was hoped for, the results and methods may be useful for other instructors of online, for-credit library classes looking for new ways to engage with students.
