Analyse d'une formation plurilingue à distance : actions et interactions by Jean-Jacques Quintin, Monica Masperi

“…Galanet" learning schemes assemble large groups of students (from one to two hundred in general) who are geographically located in different universities and committed to completing common tasks the final objective of which is to create a quadrilingual press file publication online.The present study will be developed along two complementary axes:1. a quantitative analysis of the messages posted on the forum page of the platform for each session.2. a qualitative analysis of sample interventions generated in one of these sessions.On the one hand, the quantitative approach will allow for the highlighting of certain salient features of the e-learning experience as a whole, including how sessions function and their impact on both students and tutors.On the other hand, the qualitative approach will allow to examine and understand more fully the discursive practices elicited by the learning scenario and the plurilinguistic dimension of the forum exchanges.…”
