Online multi-stage assignments provide students with opportunities to submit and share their work over an extended period in social sharing spaces such as blogging and discussion forums. This study explores the challenges experienced by students while completing online multi-stage assignments and the processes of self-regulated learning students engaged with to overcome such challenges. We present interview data from three qualitative case studies involving 34 students across two Australian universities. The results show all students experienced challenges while working on multi-stage assignments. Students engaged with both online and offline social cues to regulate their learning and overcome task challenges. We discuss the design implications and provide recommendations for further research.

Data about the implementation phase is currently being collected in the form of classroom observations, anonymous student work samples and interviews with teachers. This information provides baseline data that will become the basis for a longitudinal study of this technology innovation. Preliminary ...

Authors new to publishing in the educational technology field have sometimes found this difficult because their searches for articles relating specifically to the particular innovation they are focussing on locate very few examples. We suggest some ways of thinking about what kinds of literature might be relevant and, consequently, some useful literature searching strategies.
