Abstract

Abstract: This study addressed the question: Which online learning design - constructing knowledge one-on-one with an expert mentor, constructing knowledge with peers and a facilitator, or constructing knowledge with peers alone - most positively impacts learners' attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge outcomes? Participants were 46 graduate students enrolled in Technology and Leadership, a three-credit course. During the 10-week course, participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. In Group 1, learners worked individually with an expert mentor. In Group 2, groups of learners worked with peers and an online facilitator. Group 3 was comprised of groups of learners and an instructor. Groups shared common course materials and assignments. Surveys were administered pre and post treatment to compare the impact of these designs on students' knowledge and beliefs about leadership and their satisfaction with their online learning experience.
