| Abstract | The present paper reports on a qualitative study that examines the motivating and inhibiting factors influencing students’ engagement with online discussion via Moodle and Facebook. The data was collected through individual interviews with 14 preservice teachers. Using the Activity Theory as a lens, the study unfolds a set of factors covering the technical tools, subjective perceptions, goals of online discussion, social presence within a community, rules for participation, and roles of the participants. The findings inform educators of how to promote online discussion among students, and guide software designers in creating a web-based system more conducive to learning. |
