Online Collaborative Learning Enhancement through the Delphi Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of field trials have been conducted at NJIT in the past few years to demonstrate the utility of a Delphilike approach to promoting asynchronous class wide collaboration. These utilized the Social Decision Support System (SDSS) originally developed as a Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) system for large group decision support. This paper provides an overview of these studies and then focuses on a recent case study in the fall of 2003 that demonstrated the ability of a computer mediated asynchronous Delphi process as a tool to scaffold collaborative idea generation and evaluation in both face to face and distance courses.
