This works presents an investigation regarding the
computational support
for net structured forum discussions. In forums, the
discussion is usually
structured on a tree format through hierarchically
connected messages. The use
of a more complex structure than a tree indicates some
difficulties for the
participants. It is more difficult to read, due to the
lack of a linear structure, and to
write, due to the possibility of more flexible
associations among messages. The
hypothesis being investigated is that, given a specific
computational support, the
participants of a forum will have an adequate
participation in the net structured
discussion; an adequate participation happens when a
participant can
understand the associations among messages (reading
process) or when a new
message is posted with associations in the discussion
(writing process). The
proposed solution was the usage of a multiple reference
mechanism and the
visualization and the way to build the forum net
structure; these tools were
implemented on the Conference Service of AulaNet
environment. To investigate
the proposed solution some forum sessions with Computer
Science graduate and
pos-graduate students were conducted. In these sessions,
the forum discussion
structure, its visualization and the way the discussion
was built were varied with
the aim at analyzing the influence of the student
participation. From the case
study conducted it was concluded that, despite the
identified difficulties, the
participants managed to follow the discussion and posted
messages with
associations, which indicates the viability of net
structured foruns. Other
conclusion was that the training with graphical tools to
generate the net
structured discussion is useful to eliminate some of the
difficulties that is present
on the more complex structured discussion.
