Abstract
This session will share an ongoing study on the strategies and effects of various moderation strategies on graduate students' learning and performances, including: a) critical thinking, b) problem solving, c) the collaborative processes, and d) perceived satisfaction in online learning. Findings will be shared and discussed in details at the conference upon acceptance of this proposal.
