This project will develop and evaluate techniques for scaling participation in online education through social composition of live media learning experiences. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have grown engagement in remote education. Yet, MOOCs have primarily been based on the one-way talking heads model, serving curricula using bite-sized chunks of pre-recorded video. The problem is that education has been shown to be based on legitimate peripheral participation in learning communities. This research has the potential to transform online courses beyond talking heads, making them more participatory. Expected significant outcomes are: (1) understanding how social live media composition (SLMC) supports engagement; (2) methods for fostering legitimate peripheral participation in online learning activities; (3) techniques for forming small collaborative groups in online communities; (4) computational techniques to support qualitative and quantitative analysis of live media experiences; (5) techniques for supporting rich expression in online remote computer-supported cooperative work.This research will investigate a new medium of social live media composition that affords collaborative authoring of diagrams connecting live streaming, chat, screen sharing, and web content. As evidenced by recent popularity of live streaming, live media affords the sharing of rich participatory experiences within online communities. Composition is the freeform assembly of component media and annotations to form a connected whole that supports creative cognition of relationships. Composition has been shown, in laboratory and field studies, to support ideation, that is, the imagination, generation, and development of new ideas. The long term objective is to develop new roles for computing in supporting creativity, learning, and participation. The principal research question is how engagement in SLMC will constitute legitimate peripheral participation in online courses and so improve learning. This research will involve these specific aims: (1) Design and develop a social live media composition environment to engage learning communities. (2) Enable participation in learning communities from the crowds of online courses through social sharing and construction of live media compositions. (3) Conduct an iterative crowdsourced study to identify and investigate emergent phenomena in which SLMC supports legitimate peripheral participation in online courses.

该项目将开发和评估通过实时媒体学习体验的社会组成来扩大在线教育参与的技术。大规模开放式在线课程（MOOC）增加了远程教育的参与度。然而，MOOC主要基于单向谈话头模型，使用预先录制的视频片段提供课程。问题是，教育已被证明是基于合法的外围参与学习社区。这项研究有可能改变在线课程，使其不仅仅是口头上的，而是更具参与性。预期的重大成果是：（1）理解社会现场媒体组合（SLMC）如何支持参与;（2）促进在线学习活动中合法外围参与的方法;（3）在在线社区中形成小型协作组的技术;（4）支持现场媒体体验的定性和定量分析的计算技术;（5）在线远程计算机支持的协同工作中支持丰富表达的技术。本研究将研究一种新的社交实时媒体组合媒体，该媒体提供连接实时流媒体，聊天，屏幕共享和网络内容。正如最近流行的实时流媒体所证明的那样，实时媒体提供了在线社区内丰富的参与经验的分享。组合是组件媒体和注释的自由组合，以形成一个连接的整体，支持对关系的创造性认知。在实验室和实地研究中，构图被证明可以支持构思，即想象、产生和发展新想法。长期目标是为计算在支持创造力，学习和参与方面发挥新的作用。主要的研究问题是如何参与SLMC将构成合法的外围参与在线课程，从而提高学习。本研究的具体目标如下：（1）设计和开发一个社会化的实时媒体创作环境，以吸引学习社区。(2)通过社交分享和实时媒体作品的构建，使在线课程的人群能够参与学习社区。(3)进行迭代众包研究，以识别和调查SLMC支持合法外围参与在线课程的紧急现象。
