The Relationship of Sociometric Indicators and Synchronization in Online Case Discussions- Roberto Vinaja and Mahesh Raisinghani, DEC 2003

The main objective of this research-in-progress paper is to analyze whether the discussion method (asynchronous vs. synchronous) and the group structure (as measured by sociometric techniques) have an effect on the effectiveness of the case study as an online learning tool. Many online courses are incorporating the benefits of the case study as an innovative pedagogical tool, however, more research is needed in regards to the issues surrounding the implementation of online case studies.
