Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study intended to clarify the process of online communication/discussion on BBS in the blended class, Presentation Basics, with five on-demand classes followed by one face-to-face class session. On BBS discussion, the most frequent kind of postings was linear 2-3 writing chain as was anticipated. One main reason for the chain of postings to end was caused by consolidating and concluding comments. On the other hand, for a writing chain to continue was because of raising questions and expanding topics through personal experiences. Quite interestingly, the second writing followed by the first writing after seeing the class video was found significantly important when considered the continuity and expansion of the discussion.
