抽象在线课程的数量正在扩大。虽然许多都是独立学习的课程，与教师和其他学生有一些联系，但也有以讨论为导向的课程在网上授课。这项研究考察了学生参与其中一门课程的性质。获得课程材料的机会因学生而异，但反映了对学习的总体承诺。学生帖子的讨论都非常集中在课程内容上。当学生担任课程主持人时，课程的参与度发生了变化，这表明这样的角色可能对学习和社区建设产生积极影响。学生之间以及与讲师进行对话时，建立了强烈的社区意识。
Abstract Online course offerings are expanding. Although many are independent study courses with some contact with instructors and other students, discussion-oriented courses are also delivered on the Web. This study examined the nature of student participation in one such course. Access to course materials varied widely from student to student but reflected an overall commitment to learning. Student posts to the threaded discussion were very focused on the course content. Participation in the course changed while students served as course moderators, suggesting the positive effect such a role may have on learning and community building. A strong sense of community was established as students engaged in dialogue with each other and with the instructor.
