Abstract
Knowledge building is an inquiry-based educational model that emphasizes knowledge creation and theory building. Most research on knowledge building has focused on small classes of 20 to 30 students. In many Asian countries, including China, classes are much larger, typically 50 to 60 students. Little is known about how to orchestrate knowledge building in such settings or about issues of scale in its online discourse. My dissertation investigates this problem via design research in which I design, implement and evaluate a knowledge building environment to advance knowledge building discourse in multiple classes of approximately 50 students.
