Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore using the online platform Knowledge Forum to construct knowledge in a general medical course of college students. Applying the resulting coding scheme, three independent judges coded 4, 673 messages posted into Knowledge Forum by 131 students (56 men and 75 women) attending the General Medical course at an university to develop the coding scheme. This article adopts the online interaction model for collaborative learning and uses six dimensions to code all students' discussions in general education courses and find a new dimension "technical".
