ABSTRACT

E-tivities for active online learning This book explores e-tivities, the name I give to frameworks for enhancing active and participative online learning by individuals and groups. All the e-tivities that I discuss are based on low-cost computer-mediated environments such as bulletin boards or forums. E-tivities are cheap to create and run. They only require access to the Internet and to a discussion board. Discussion boards are usually text based and asynchronous. They are scalable and customizable.
