Finding the "learning" in biology students' use of Learning Management Systems

چکیده
This study investigated how students used Learning Management Systems (LMS) to interact with each other, collaborate, and co-construct knowledge without mediation by the instructor. Results indicate that students successfully used the LMS to interact and, to a significant extent, collaborate with each other, but there was very little evidence of knowledge co-construction within the LMS. The results suggested that the ease and availability of faceto-face meetings as well as limitations with the technology were influencing factors.
