What’s in it for me? The stick and the carrot as tools for developing academic communities 
Motivating students to contribute to learning communities is not 
a new problem, nor is it restricted to online learning. However it 
becomes  especially  obvious  in  large  online  courses  where 
student collaboration is one of the intended learning outcomes. 
 
This    paper    describes    two    models    for    driving    student 
engagement  in  producing  user-generated  and  user-reviewed 
content.  It  discusses  the  motivation  for  participation  and  gives 
results  from  two  subject  areas.  The  behaviour  of  students  of 
second and third level language courses is compared to that of 
first level technology students when their participation is simply 
encouraged and when it is required for assessment. 
 
A model for driving user-engagement is proposed and related to 
previous experience in online learning.
