Citations in the corpus

• A generic model for guiding the integration of ICT into teaching and learning (2008, background): “Research indicates that online discussions have numerous advantages – such as promoting students’ critical thinking and knowledge construction (Marra, Moore, & Klimczak, 2004; Wu & Hiltz, 2004) and improving students’ relationship (Powers & Mitchell, 1997).”
• Content analysis schemes to analyze transcripts of online asynchronous discussion groups: A review (2006, methodology): “Marra, Moore, and Klimczak (2004) argue that calculating inter-rater reliability is not possible given that the unit of analysis varies from phrases, to paragraphs, or the entire posting.”
• Researching the community of inquiry framework: Review, issues, and future directions (2007, background): “On the other hand, there is greater diversity of practice with regard to coding protocols (Marra, Moore, & Klimczak, 2004).”
