Discussion forums’ activities help learners to share and gain knowledge from each other. However, setting up discussion forums does not ensure that learners interact with each other actively and grading of discussion forum participation is done to ensure qualitative learner participation. Currently, a major focus has been put onto the better use of discussion forums, but the way in which quality of participation can be evaluated has yet to be adequately investigated. This paper presents a conceptual model, based on an extensive review of current literature in related areas, as a way forward in looking at the assessment of quality in online discussion forums. The main benefits of the proposed framework are towards facilitators, as a way to assess learners’ online contributions, while students may use it to understand what is expected of them as participants in online discussion forums Language eng Field of Research 130103 Higher Education 130303 Education Assessment and Evaluation Socio Economic Objective 970113 Expanding Knowledge in Education HERDC Research category E1 Full written paper - refereed Persistent URL http://hdl.handle.net/10536/DRO/DU:30020425 Document type: Conference Paper Collection: Knowledge Media Division Related Links Link Description Connect to published version Go to link with your DU access privileges     Unless expressly stated otherwise, the copyright for items in DRO is owned by the author, with all rights reserved.
