DiscourseDB

DiscourseDB is a database that combines multiple data sources used for learning experiences, including chat, threads, blogs, Twitter, wikis, text messages and more.

The research team is examining data related to various aspects of collaborative and discussion-based learning, including:

• role taking
• help exchange
• collaborative knowledge construction,
• showing openness
• taking an authoritative stance
• attitudes
• confusion
• alliance and opposition

Applying metrics across datasets from multiple platforms may help to answer questions related to the mediating and moderating effect of these process and state measures on information transfer, learning, and attrition can be conducted, building on the earlier research of our team.
