Abstract

This is a study of two cohorts of practicing teachers enrolled in an online graduate course using Case Method of Instruction (a pedagogical technique based on realistic case studies) to facilitate students' learning. Social presence indicators were analyzed to demonstrate the effects of case studies in the online course on student interactions. This analysis revealed changes in types of interactions used during discussions of case studies. Both cohort groups showed changes in communication to include more emotional (affective) discussions when engaging in Case Method of Instruction.
