Studies regarding the perceptions of social loafing and its effects in the online learning environment, however, are largely non-existent. This study surveyed 227 online learning students who were participating in online learning groups. The study seeks to determine whether the perception of social loafing exists within online learning groups. In addition, several psychosocial factors identified in face-to-face environments are analyzed to determine their impact in online learning groups. Evidence supports both the perception of social loafing in online learning groups as well as similarities between social loafing antecedents in face-to-face groups and those in the online learning environment.Sherry L PiezonWilliam D FerreeAthabasca University PressarticleSocial loafingfree ridingtask visibilitycontributiondistributive justiceprocedural justiceSpecial aspects of educationLC8-6691ENInternational Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, Vol 9, Iss 2 (2008)
