Online Course: Students
built 633 days ago
An Online course is one where all course instruction is available to students at a distance. Most of a student's work is conducted asynchronously over the web, but synchronous instruction may ... be required. For example, students may be required to speak to faculty by telephone or participate in a telephone conference. Campus orientation sessions for individual online courses, when available, are optional to the student. While courses may require students to take tests and exams "in person", professors allow students to take these assessments with an approved proctor in their locale if they are unable to come to campus.

This paper describes an ongoing project to create an online version of a reading programme, a custom-designed English language proficiency course at a university in Japan. Following an interactionist view of second language acquisition, it was hypothesised that comprehension of a reading passage could be enhanced by online materials promoting interaction between students as they completed a multiple-choice reading comprehension exercise. Interaction was promoted: (a) through pair work at a single computer and (b) by providing Elaborative feedback in the form of hints about incorrect answers as a means of stimulating discussion about corrections. Students were randomly selected from upper and lower levels of English proficiency, as determined by the Kanda English Proficiency Test (Bonk & Ockey, 2003), to receive either Elaborative feedback or Knowledge of Correct Response feedback (which supplies the correct answers). Within these groups, some students worked in pairs and some alone. Quantitative results show that the interaction between Type of feedback and Manner of study (individual or pair work) was statistically significant; students performed best on a follow-up comprehension exercise when in pairs and having been provided with Elaborative feedback.
