Abstract
This paper focuses on the fora of asynchronous distance education with the purpose of comparing educational techniques widely used in the fields such as brainstorming and snowballing in a combined environment both via computer and mobile devices, in the framework of a training program in IT basic skills for primary education teachers. For the purpose of this study, modelling in formal language was used to classify the messages in the Moodle forum V.1.6 as well as a respective system to automate this procedure. As it is deduced from the data analysis and the study of the text messages in the Moodle forum V.1.6, the groups using brainstorming technique show higher participation at the forum than those using the snowballing technique. Furthermore, the brainstorming technique is more advantageous than the snowballing technique concerning the educational effectiveness.
