Abstract

Synchronous chat rooms have been used to support students' collaborative learning. However, little work has empirically studied its relationship with students' sense of community and furthermore the role of personality in affecting students' chat room behavior. In this paper, we report results of a user experiment (with 489 students). We find that students who have actively used chat room possess significantly higher level of sense of community than inactive students. More notably, we identify the important role of students' personality in inuencing both their chat frequency and chat content.
