Higher Ed - Qualitative Research; Francesco Cavallaro, Nanyang Technological University
This pilot study examined an online collaborative writing project carried out between writing classes from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Polytechnic (SP). The pilot tested a peer-to-peer mentoring system's success in establishing asynchronous and synchronous communication. The results from this pilot study were very promising and show that students were extremely motivated and produced high quality work. The authors conclude that well planned and implemented mentoring projects are possible through the electronic medium and can be quite effective.Links:
