title = "Comparison of students' perceptions of small group discussion in online and face-To-face environments",
abstract = "The aim of this study is to understand students' experiences in online and face-To-face discussion and compare their perceptions towards these two environments. Students from two undergraduate classes (n=208) were surveyed by questionnaires and 30 students were interviewed. The analyses centered around five major aspects - learning, affection, reading and writing skills, critical thinking skills, and efficacy. The results show that the student perceived more positively towards face-To-face discussion than online discussion in all but the reading and writing aspect. The interview data revealed the advantages and disadvantages of each discussion method.",
