Presented at AERA 2013.Students often report a feeling of information overload in asynchronous computer-conferencing courses. To supplement such qualitative perceptions, this study uses a scan rate metric to quantitatively investigate the reading behaviors of students relative to the number of messages they read per-session. We find that students more often skim messages in sessions where they read many messages compared to sessions where they read fewer messages. Yet, we do not find that such skimming increases with the length of sessions. We suggest the exploration of several hypotheses for interpreting this latter finding
