Potential Abstract: In this study, we investigate the utilization of Slack channels as a discrete learning environment for the dissemination of learning science content. With the rise of online platforms and digital tools, educators and researchers are exploring innovative ways to engage students in meaningful learning experiences. This research focuses on the design and implementation of engineered Slack channels to deliver curated learning science materials to students in a controlled and interactive manner, simulating a market-like environment. By leveraging the features of Slack, such as channels, threads, and integrations, we aim to enhance student engagement, collaboration, and knowledge acquisition within the context of learning science.
Our study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis and qualitative insights from student interviews and surveys. We analyze the effectiveness of this discrete learning approach in terms of student participation, understanding of learning science concepts, and perceived learning outcomes. Additionally, we explore the impact of different channel structures, content curation strategies, and instructor interventions on student learning experiences within the engineered Slack environment.
This research contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced learning environments and provides insights into the design and implementation of innovative digital platforms for educational purposes. By examining the potential of Slack channels as a market-driven space for learning science, we offer practical implications for educators, curriculum developers, and instructional designers seeking to engage students in active and collaborative learning experiences.
