Contributing and Participating

in Academic Seminar Discourse

Initial Confusion

─ Am I in the right course? It’s the same every time I start a new course! (Aug 30)

─ Where and how can I upload what I want to write in its proper place? It takes all my time to worry about this? (Sep 14)

─ I think you should stop worrying. We will solve this together. To the left you have the folder [for the particular theme] in it you will find the group folders. (Sep 14)

Appropriating an academic discourse?

─ Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of constructivism … is its emphasis on argument, discussion and debate. Comparing Petraglia’s ideas with the lively exchange of opinions in our group I think we can say that we have been working in a constructivist mode. (Oct 26)

Benefits of the online seminar

• Participants must be prepared and ready to contribute• Writing is a powerful tool for the development of thinking • Discussing asynchronously gives each participant time to

reflect • Gradual elimination of communication barriers • Decreasing risk of plagiarism
