here’s a quick look at the aggregated metadata for all of the online discussions I’m using in my thesis:
About the same number of posts in each platform, with a bit more of a time-spread in the WordPress discussions, substantially longer posts in WordPress, about the same (non) use of images, more links in WordPress posts, and more attachments in Blackboard posts.
Interesting comparisons-sorry but how many courses in each (Bb & Blog) .are you analyzing? I guess I have to read the methodology section to learn more about your research.
It’s one course, conducted in 2 discussion platforms (about half in Blackboard, about half in WordPress). And I have to write up the methodology section first… 😉
Interesting. Keep me posted on the result. What is your main research question?
Way to go!
