Point Of Evolution Case study 2022

Critical Review

Introduction
Researcher “Kevin .J. Downing” published a report under the title “Creating interaction in online
learning: A case study.” In the prestigious journal of “ALT-J, Research in Learning
Technology,” this research report is based on an empirical survey covering the interaction of the
students and teachers in an online module that lasted for 16 weeks. This empirical study tried to
explore a hypothesis revolving around the “collaboration and concept development” during an
online module. The researcher went for exhaustive research to figure out the impact of the tools
and online communication protocols to establish a hypothesis that goes as under.
Online modules have the capacity to fulfill all the necessary conditions of conceptual learning by
creating a collaborative environment to facilitate a learning community that can complete the
process of concept development without any significant generation loss.
A brief journey from the point of evolution to the conclusion
This report covers a journey of the learning that lasted for sixteen weeks. The researchers divided
this journey into three phases; they took the support of various previous theories to determine the
goals for the group for each phase.
In order to compare the results of the endeavor, the researchers also included the notes collected
from a blended educational program where web and face to face interaction were present in part.
The methodology of the research defined three actors in the process. Student-teacher interaction,
student-student interaction and participative interaction were classified as actors. Dashboards,
