The Effects of Real-Time Team-Based Representation Activities on Knowledge Acquisition and Divergent Thinking in University e-Learning Environments

This chapter examines Gordon Pask’s Conversation Theory, comparing his approach to the current literature about the growing field of E-learning as a vital component for knowledge acquisition. For this chapter, conversation and dialogue are simply defined as an exchange of information between students and instructors. This exchange can be informal like a conversation or more formal like a dialogue (Merriam-Webster’s, 1974).

Several studies have been undertaken aiming to improve the efficiency of e-learning through the development of features to Virtual Learning Environments. However, such researches have no focus on the use of collaboration of learning objects and analysis of students’ progress in real-time. Hence, this paper presents an educational platform that allows real-time co-authorship and monitoring of students’ progress in learning objects, through the implementation of software engineering techniques and patterns designed for educational systems.

With globalization, library educators should address culturally-sensitive instruction design and curriculum, particularly in online learning environments. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Bigg’s educational model provide frameworks for addressing cultural impact on library education. Specific techniques are suggested for handling language and online learning issues.Avec la mondialisation, les professeurs de bibliothéconomie devraient incorporer les différences culturelles dans leurs cours ainsi que dans le cursus, notamment en milieu d'apprentissage en ligne. Les dimensions culturelles de Hofstede et le modèle éducatif de Bigg offrent un cadre permettant de traiter de l'impact culturel sur l'éducation. Seront présentées différentes techniques pour aborder les questions de langue et d'apprentissage en ligne.
