Asynchronous text-based threaded discussion (AD) is a common strategy for encouraging student interaction in post-secondary courses via Computer Mediated Communications (CMC). Although the literature has recommended specific practices for the AD instructor-moderator, little comparative empirical experimental research has been done on this topic. This poster presents findings from a quasi-experimental, mixed methodology study employing content analysis and focus group techniques to examine the influence of selected instructional tactics (situated and abstract) and moderation styles (social and instrumental) on participant interaction and exchange in four parallel experimental ADs in an undergraduate professional nursing course.
