title = "An investigation of data displays for interpreting participation in online discussion: Two perspectives",
abstract = "This study investigated several types of data displays to determine which ones most effectively communicated information about participation in online discussions. The hypothesis was that improved data display would increase instructor efficiency with respect to the formative assessment of online student activities. Three types of assessments were examined in detail using data from undergraduate course discussion forums. The assessments displays were studied from two perspectives, that of the researchers and that of the instructor. Significant disparities were found between the assumptions of the researchers and the needs of the instructor. This work was part of a larger project to design e-learning workflows and reporting tools to monitor and interpret online course discussions for the purpose of instructional assessment.",
