CHS: Small: Transforming Participation in Online Courses through Social Live Media Composition

该项目将开发和评估通过现场媒体学习经验的社会组合来扩大在线教育参与度的技术。大规模在线公开课(MOOC)增加了远程教育的参与度。然而，MOOC主要是基于单向对话负责人模式，使用一小块预先录制的视频来提供课程。问题是，教育已被证明是建立在合法的周边参与学习社区的基础上的。这项研究有可能改变在线课程，使其不再是面对面的谈话，而是更具参与性。预期的重要成果是：(1)了解社交直播媒体合成(SLMC)如何支持参与度；(2)促进在线学习活动中合法外围参与的方法；(3)在线社区中形成小型协作小组的技术；(4)支持直播媒体体验的定性和定量分析的计算技术；(5)支持在线远程计算机支持的协作工作中丰富表达的技术。本研究将探索一种新的社交直播媒体合成媒体，其提供连接直播流、聊天、屏幕共享和网络内容的图表的协作创作。正如最近直播的流行所证明的那样，直播媒体为在线社区提供了丰富的参与性经验分享。构图是组成媒体和注释的自由组合，形成一个相互联系的整体，支持对关系的创造性认知。在实验室和实地研究中，作文已被证明支持思维，即新想法的想象、产生和发展。长期目标是开发计算在支持创造力、学习和参与方面的新角色。主要的研究问题是，参与SLMC将如何构成在线课程的合法外围参与，从而改善学习。本研究将涉及以下几个具体目标：(1)设计和开发一个参与学习社区的社交直播媒体创作环境。(2)通过社会共享和构建现场媒体作品，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支持合法外围设备参与在线课程的紧急现象。

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.
