Generally, over the past 30 years we have discovered that calculating time spent online is not necessarily a great indicator of the quality of engagement.  But if you do use it in a comparative way (user v. group) it can have some value.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFar better is comparing the # of messages or message volume/pp in a particular period. Comparision of the individual to the group discourse is also helpful.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest of all, I believe, is to study the quality of the messages/discourse.  I’m personally far more interested in discourse analysis, not just the quantity of messaging. Of especially important and interest is to code the transcript to sstudy if there a demonstrative change over time (i.e., progress in the quality of the discourse, the arguments used, references made, the positions taken).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHence I am concerned tht the nature of the “discourse” in this forum is quite primitive (or perhaps I have not yet really seen its full features). Here is a brief list of features that I feel are essential…are they in the software? Are they easy to build in?  1. Are messages in a topic numbered? 2. Can I search by key word? chronology? reverse chronology? subject? sender? 3. can I sort the messages into various perspectives? 4. How are replies linked to comments? 5. Can I easily see/sort # of messages by sender? 6. Can I include a space for a keyword by each sender?\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan someone help me, pls?

I started grad school in Instructional Technology at Vanderbilt 1995 (back in the days when Bransford, Kinser were there) and remember your work. I left academics for my wife to take a tenure-track position. She does Discourse analysis and uses Discursive Psychology. I have some experience pulling data out of various fora into forms that work with tools like ATLAS.ti.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI started using Discourse as a tool to teach my online classes. I promise that it’s worlds better than the discussion tools I’ve seen in Moodle, Sakai, or Canvas.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think that Discourse’s measure of time spent reading is a bit more nuanced than some earlier measures of “time online”, so it may be more useful than you think. Rather than “how long was the modem on”, Discourse can sort-of tell if someone is reading stuff and for how long, a measure that I have not really seen in any other forum software. If someone spends all of their time posting messages and never reads any, they are not likely to be a very valuable contributor.  I’m not aware of research that looks at those values, but I’ve been out of that game for a while.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI don’t think that it would be quite possible to use Discourse’s tags to mark posts the way one might with tools like ATLAS.ti or NVivo. Discourse’s tagging granularity is at the topic level, not even the post level; I’d think that you’d want to be able to code at the level of a sentence or paragraph.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour questions seem to be from the perspective of one wanting to analyze discourse, not participate in it. From a user (not Discourse analysis) perspective, Discourse does a lot to support discourse.

It is a pleasure to have responses from someone who knows both the technology, as well as having insights into the educational applications. This is a real treat.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you may know I am one of the inventors of online education, having designed and taught the first fully online university course in the world (1986, University of Toronto).  For the past 32 years I have been teaching online, building a theoretical approach entitled Collaborativism (Harasim, 2017), whereby to study learning effectiveness in online education, and developing a Collaborativist pedagogy and a research methodology based on discourse (transcript) analysis.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil 4 years ago I was using the learning environment that we developed in the 1990s, called Virtual-U that had a very powerful and robust forum as its centerpiece.  For me, discourse is the heart and soul of learning. However, when the system went down there was no one \u003cspan class=\"mention\"\u003e@SFU\u003c/span\u003e who could reboot it and I have been stuck using Canvas for my online courses.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have been seeking an alternative system for many years, since as you say, Canvas, Moodle, D2L, Blackboard are horrible and are utterly impossible for real learning because they do not support collaborative discourse.   I have looked at blogging software, general forums, Slack, etc. Nothing that can support state-of-the-art online education, training, collaboration, knowledge building, etc.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea of developing my own software remains alive but that is another story.

Let’s share papers.  I just completed a chapter on my discourse analytics methodology.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour work with nVIVO and ATLAS.ti sounds interesting.  I invested a lot of money in the 1990s in training researchers and students to use ATLAS, and nVIVO.  Our work did not lead to promising results. Did you have a different experience?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBIG Question: Why number posts??? I am incredulous at the response by you and Sam Saffron, which dismissed numbering posts chronologically as “noise”. NO way!  Not noise but very informative cognitive markers and meaning makers.  In my courses, discourse is the single key learning activity—one of my favorite pedagogies is what I call: SOS (Student-mediated Online Seminars). In a class let’s say of 16 students, around 120 messages per week are posted.  Automatic numbering of each post is very important for many reasons such as: message number helps the student discussants locate where they are in the seminar, understand the size of the seminar to date, and determine their pace of participation. Also, student moderators get a sense of the volume and progress of the seminar and are better able to facilitate movement and advancement.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOf course my analyses are not only quantitative, but primarily qualitative.  To do qualitative analyses (or retrospective analysis), we code each message according to learning type, date, sender, message size, etc etc. Since Canvas does not number the posts, students have to print out the transcript, and then reorganize the posts chronologically, and then manually number each post in order to code it.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy students have written many critiques of Canvas because the Discussion forum does NOT automatically number each post, and students find it infuriating. So do I. The pioneers of online education in the 1980s and early 1990s used computer conferencing systems such as EIES, Participate, Confer, *Forum, CoSy. Messages in the conferences/forums were always numbered, and many provided multiple perspectives on the discourse. This is ESSENTIAL, imho. (FYI: my Virtual-U system numbers each post, and could also scroll without stopping at each page.  These features are not mutually exclusive)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, a brief comment on time: truly there is not much valuable information that you can wring out of this indicator, imho. Time on a post can signify SO MANY things: looking up a reference, using a dictionary, taking longer to understand the post, taking longer to compose a post, being interrupted by something external, getting a coffee, becoming distracted, ……Time on a message is very subjective and attempts to analyze the reasons are assumption which cannot be empirically proven.  Participate, the system that I used at OISE, actually showed which user had read a message.  Simpler, overall with roughly the same (few) gains.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo Jay, I would very much like your assistance in helping me to consider transferring my online courses to \u003cspan class=\"mention\"\u003e@Discourse\u003c/span\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd Sam Saffron, I hope that we can continue our discussions about the messaging features of \u003cspan class=\"mention\"\u003e@Discourse\u003c/span\u003e. So far, I think it is great. As I said earlier, I can see lots of ways to make it a winner for educational adoption.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordially,\u003cbr\u003e\nLinda\u003c/p\u003e","post_number":7,"post_type":1,"posts_count":20,"updated_at":"2018-04-24T07:37:28.109Z","reply_count":3,"reply_to_post_number":5,"quote_count":0,"incoming_link_count":7,"reads":124,"readers_count":123,"score":149.8,"yours":false,"topic_id":86015,"topic_slug":"questions-regarding-discourse-features","display_username":"Linda Harasim","primary_group_name":null,"flair_name":null,"flair_url":null,"flair_bg_color":null,"flair_color":null,"flair_group_id":null,"badges_granted":[],"version":1,"can_edit":false,"can_delete":false,"can_recover":false,"can_see_hidden_post":false,"can_wiki":false,"read":true,"user_title":null,"reply_to_user":{"id":15209,"username":"pfaffman","name":"Jay Pfaffman","avatar_template":"/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/pfaffman/{size}/120154_2.png"},"bookmarked":false,"actions_summary":[{"id":2,"count":5}],"moderator":false,"admin":false,"staff":false,"user_id":40260,"hidden":false,"trust_level":0,"deleted_at":null,"user_deleted":false,"edit_reason":null,"can_view_edit_history":true,"wiki":false,"post_url":"/t/questions-regarding-discourse-features/86015/7","locale":"en","is_localized":false,"language":"en","activity_pub_enabled":false,"boosts":[],"can_boost":false,"event":null,"customer_flair_customer":null,"direct_reply_count":3,"reactions":[{"id":"heart","type":"emoji","count":5}],"current_user_reaction":null,"reaction_users_count":5,"current_user_used_main_reaction":false,"can_accept_answer":false,"can_unaccept_answer":false,"accepted_answer":false,"topic_accepted_answer":null},{"id":414590,"name":"Christoph","username":"tophee","avatar_template":"/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/tophee/{size}/73406_2.png","created_at":"2018-04-24T13:13:51.210Z","cooked":"\u003cp\u003eIt’s great to have someone systematically assess discourse for use in education.

Interesting to see the educational disciplines that are currently using Discourse.  It seems that computing and coding schools predominate; I thus encourage your group to proceed with caution because the nature of discourse in the coding/computing field is very different from that in online courses in the rest of the university. Applied sciences have their own epistemology, and that is why ventures such as Coursera, Udacity, edX are able to profit most easily (low hanging fruit…altho Udacity did make some pivotal improvements). Other disciplines such as social sciences, pure sciences, learning sciences, medical education, dentistry, and fields of law, etc. approach discourse in a very different way.  Do not lose sight of how discourse is used to augment learning in different fields or you will lose attraction to to those very large fields which are currently seeking online presence.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne other comment to consider wrt online education. You noted that Canvas might get muddled if Discourse was introduced.  That possibly should be the last of your concerns. Canvas is a leaking ship: the model of education that they support and enable is a cookie cutter of the mid-twentieth century classroom. The first 10-15 years of online education used only computer conferencing, because we want to highlight discussion and not memorization and obedience by the learners.  Many people today (including me)  believe that the “invention” of the LMS has been a huge set back to online education.  It was premature, and by providing professors with the primitive didactic teaching tools such as quizzes, lecture (videos, lecture notes, slide shows), that the very worst of 20th century didactic education was transported online and now holds north american universities in captivity. An LMS made it too easy to just upload existing “stuff” and teach in the old factory style.   Discourse (and by that I mean discussion, debate, knowledge building) is where learning really takes place…quizzes, grade books are just add-ons that are mistaken as educational. Discourse, the software and company, should take heed and seek to provide true learning environments and forget Canvas. Unless Canvas et al, advance with their forum software they are DOA. Discourse will kill it. Cheers!  PS: I like the notion of connecting annotation software with discourse software. That is heading in the right direction, imho.\u003c/p\u003e","post_number":17,"post_type":1,"posts_count":20,"updated_at":"2018-04-25T07:16:09.587Z","reply_count":1,"reply_to_post_number":8,"quote_count":0,"incoming_link_count":1,"reads":108,"readers_count":107,"score":76.6,"yours":false,"topic_id":86015,"topic_slug":"questions-regarding-discourse-features","display_username":"Linda Harasim","primary_group_name":null,"flair_name":null,"flair_url":null,"flair_bg_color":null,"flair_color":null,"flair_group_id":null,"badges_granted":[],"version":2,"can_edit":false,"can_delete":false,"can_recover":false,"can_see_hidden_post":false,"can_wiki":false,"read":true,"user_title":null,"reply_to_user":{"id":26401,"username":"tophee","name":"Christoph","avatar_template":"/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/tophee/{size}/73406_2.png"},"bookmarked":false,"actions_summary":[{"id":2,"count":3}],"moderator":false,"admin":false,"staff":false,"user_id":40260,"hidden":false,"trust_level":0,"deleted_at":null,"user_deleted":false,"edit_reason":null,"can_view_edit_history":true,"wiki":false,"post_url":"/t/questions-regarding-discourse-features/86015/17","locale":"en","is_localized":false,"language":"en","activity_pub_enabled":false,"boosts":[],"can_boost":false,"event":null,"customer_flair_customer":null,"direct_reply_count":0,"reactions":[{"id":"heart","type":"emoji","count":3}],"current_user_reaction":null,"reaction_users_count":3,"current_user_used_main_reaction":false,"can_accept_answer":false,"can_unaccept_answer":false,"accepted_answer":false,"topic_accepted_answer":null},{"id":415060,"name":"Luke S","username":"Sailsman63","avatar_template":"https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/s/b5ac83/{size}.png","created_at":"2018-04-25T14:14:05.037Z","cooked":"\u003caside class=\"quote no-group quote-modified\" data-username=\"eLinda\" data-post=\"7\" data-topic=\"86015\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quote-controls\"\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" src=\"https://d3bpeqsaub0i6y.cloudfront.net/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/elinda/48/122377_2.png\" class=\"avatar\"\u003e eLinda:\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNO way!
