I did not know there was a tracking function in ANGEL because I do not use ANGEL for my teaching, but only for the classes that I take.
What can be tracked?
Students’ access to the software.
What is tracked?
I was not sure of the difference between this question and the previous one.
Students’ access to the software.
Students’ interactions.
How does it (not) help in evaluating materials?
Completion of assignments , assessment of learning, identification of problem areas for follow-up learning activities, monitoring of students’ use of the L2, determination of the optimum number of participants in computer-mediated communication sessions, examination of students’ degree of participation in CMC sessions, investigation of how students interact with specific software components.
Judgmental analysis and Empirical analysis
Determine to what extent students’ use of structured activities adequately prepares them for unstructured activities.
How does it (not) help in guiding students?
They can become autonomous.
What do we know about students’ use of online technologies?
Only based upon students’ self-reports.
They do not use ancillary functions of software. They use it as minimally as they can to finish a task as soon as they can.
They are not able to use it efficiently, especially when they are L2 beginners.
Browsing, channel surfing, linear, tentative
Browsing, frequent peekers, sporadic peekers (most), adamants
Wide range
What implications do student behaviors have on SLA processes?
Investigation of SLA principles in the realm of CALL in relation to learning outcomes (p. 12).
What kind of knowledge could we gain from student tracking that could inform SLA theory and empirical knowledge?
Input enhancement, Annotations
Negotiation of meaning, FonF, focus on words
Sociocultural learning
Corrective feedback and noticing the gap
Hypothesis testing and metalinguistic reflection
What research methodological concerns that Fischer address?
Discrepancies between students' self-report and their actual use. So the data from the former is unreliable.
How do different formats of online learning influence what we know about the students’ behavior and how much effort and technical expertise goes into finding this knowledge?
Synchronous: easier to see their behavior.
Asynchronous: more difficult to see what they did.

You did not know about ANGEL tracking. It is helpful to find out who did what and when. It can give you an idea of when to set deadlines and how prepared students will be for class .
