What this paper examines
Teles, Ashton, Roberts and Tzoneva analyse instructor messages in collaborative online courses. They develop a coding scheme covering pedagogical, managerial, social and technical acts, and examine how these roles appear across courses and over time. The paper makes visible the different kinds of work that can be contained in an instructor’s contributions, beyond simply delivering subject knowledge or answering questions.
