Here are my best online contributions and why: students' perceptions of good online participation
This paper reports students' accounts of their best contributions to the online learning activities in a master's course, and their accompanying reasons. The preliminary findings seem to suggest that both instructors and students hold similar standpoints on good performances in an online learning environment, i.e. to build new knowledge, to articulate and share them through interactions with course readings, reflections on personal experiences/beliefs online experiences, and interactions with peers. The findings support the view that in general students can accurately make self-assessments about their abilities and achievements, and self assessment could be used as an alternative way of assessing online learning.
