q2 i? Learning management system tracking showed students chose disciplinary videos and writing samples matching their interests and intended disciplines, which the author suggests made the material more relevant. → Stouck 2019

Evidence¶

Stouck 2019¶

Stouck, J. (2019). Complementary Learning: Piloting a Blended Format for Canadian Composition Courses. The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 10(1). https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2019.1.7992

q2 · i? · causal · r1

LMS usage-log observation in the blended experimental sections, where students viewed scholar interviews and disciplinary writing samples as an online assignment. Selection followed "their interests and future plans"; relevance is the author's presumption, not a measured outcome.

"The LMS tracking system confirms that disciplinary materials were selected by students according to their interests and future plans, presumably making the material more relevant and allowing students to consider disciplinary differences in more de pth than a typical F2F introductory composition course does"

• Path analysis showed material choice reasons tracked attributions: text was chosen for perceived high ability and effort, video for low evaluations of both — related
• Students who chose to comment on videos and rate comments (active/constructive) were reported to gain conceptual understanding of presentation skills while passive watchers did not, in self-selected groups — related
