This paper aims at identifying the different roles that students play in the development of a collaborative networked learning (n-learning) community through an asynchronous environment. The respondents for this case study involved twenty three undergraduates TESL students in their ninth semester. These students, undergoing the Introduction to Literature course are pursuing their degrees in a private institution of higher education in a branch campus in Perak. This study employed the qualitative method as the research methodology. The instruments used in the data gathering process were interaction threads analysis and semistructured interviews. The analysis of the data showcased that the students played significantly different roles in developing the collaborative learning community. The students' roles are categorized into two types: positive and negative roles. The negative roles can be seen as threats to the sanctity of an online learning community; therefore they have to be minimized. In developing a successful n-learning community, students should learn to take control of their own learning. This means the students are able to adopt appropriate roles according to the needs of the community. Each student has their own significant roles to play to ensure a collaborative n-learning community is successfully developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
