| Abstract | This study explores cross-age peers’ tutoring behavior to support freshmen collaborating online. The study fits in with the need to inquire into the process of peer facilitation in CSCL-environments and focuses on types of peer support and on the evolution over time. The study was conducted with 19 pairs of fourth-year students, each tutoring one asynchronous discussion group of about 10 freshmen during one semester. A content analysis scheme was developed to analyze tutors’ contributions [Weinberger & Fisher (2006). Computers & Education, 46, 71–95; Garrison et al. (2000). The Internet and Higher Education, 2, 87–105]. Full transcripts were coded and units of meaning were chosen as units of analysis. As to the types of peer support, the results reveal a variety of tutoring interventions. Most often tutors provide organizational and social support. Further, they facilitate knowledge construction and concentrate on elucidating learning contents. Only exceptionally tutors engage in off-task talk. As to the evolution over time, the results show a gradual decline in the amount of tutor contributions. Further, multinomial logistic regressions reveal variation in the occurrence of different types of support. Peer tutors did however not evolve from modeling high-quality discussion behavior to eliciting this in the tutees (coaching). At all times tutors preferred addressing their interventions to the entire group. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
