Abstract: Online discussion relies on asynchronous communication, where participants communicate by posting messages to the bulletin board system such as Blackboard Discussions. Asynchronous communication has the potential to make collaboration efforts more rewarding and productive for students by enabling them to communicate at any time and from any networked location. The structure of the dialogue will be analyzed using social network analysis. The purpose of this study tries to investigate how the structure of asynchronous communication is related to student achievement.
