This paper took the social knowledge construction as the perspective and “Introduction to Educational Technology” online course as an example to analyze knowledge construction level implied in those posts contributed by learners with the method of content analysis.

The online discussion forum is a common means of learning for CSCL, because participants can share or exchange their understandings, viewpoints, comments, or critiques of a certain task or solving problems with it. The results of analysing the contents of online discussion forums could describe the characteristics of online discussions. In this study, the 20 undergraduate students registered in a...
Web pages are typical semi-structure data. Some tree-based models have been proposed to describe the semantic content structure of web pages in order to facilitate further content analysis. However, most existing models only present the segmentation hierarchy of content blocks rather than the semantic relationships among them. In this work, we propose a novel web page semantic structure model, called...
The case study, based on collaborative knowledge building theory, investigated online interaction characteristics and knowledge building of students who used the knowledge forum (KF) to discuss course-related content. Collected data included the discussion transcripts of a postgraduate course during one semester and students interview records. Content analysis was used to examine student participation...
Exponential growth in undergraduate engineering and technology management programs has occurred since 1987; yet there is no agreed upon body of knowledge in this field nor are there established benchmarks. Unifying models, theories and curricula are needed for the codification of knowledge to occur. Benchmarks must be established so that technology management programs can be assessed and so that the...
Security education at the tertiary level is still in its infancy, with limited consensual agreement on content requirement. The security industry is diverse and multi-disciplined, with practitioners originating from many disciplines. But security experts have a rich knowledge structure, although there has had limited research to map this knowledge structure. This limited mapping reduces the ability...
