Peer reviewedGibbs, Graham R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1999
Describes the development and evaluation of coMentor, a virtual-learning environment that supports student discussion and debate through the World Wide Web, particularly for theoretical subjects. Discusses its use in an undergraduate philosophy course and reports results that indicate higher levels of learning among students who used the system.…

Direct linkChang, C.Y. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2004
In this study, a multimedia computer-aided tutorial (MCAT) on the topic of debris-flow hazards was developed for senior high-school students in Taiwan. The format of the new course is a blend of whole-class presentations, interactive discussions among the teacher and students, and classroom activities using the MCAT software. The whole-class…

Peer reviewedCummings, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1985
Reports an investigation into pupil-talk in small groups during a computer simulation. The role of language as a communication and understanding aid is considered, along with the microcomputer's potential as a stimulus to and generator of discussion. The contents of participants' conversations, at and away from the microcomputer, are analyzed.…

Arnseth, H. C.; Saljo, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2007
The topic of this article concerns how students make sense of categories of progressive inquiry made available to them through a discussion and inquiry type of software called Future Learning Environments 2 (FLE2). The idea behind tools of this kind is to induce approaches to school-work that build on the metaphor of learning as research. By…

Peer reviewedThomas, Matthew J. W. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2002
Presents results from a study of undergraduate students' learning outcomes and patterns of interaction within an online discussion forum. Topics include social dynamics of computer-mediated communication versus face-to-face communication; cognitive engagement; critical and reflective thinking; and student interaction. (Author/LRW)

Ellis, Robert A.; Goodyear, P.; Prosser, M.; O'Hara, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
This paper reports a phenomenographic investigation into students' experiences of learning through discussion--both online and face to face (F2F). The study context was a second-year undergraduate course in psychology for social work in which the teacher had designed discussion tasks to begin in F2F mode and to continue online. A combination of…

Guiller, J.; Durndell, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2006
This paper discusses findings from an extensive project examining gender, language and computer-mediated communication (CMC) in the context of undergraduate psychology courses. The contributions of 197 introductory psychology students (148 females, 49 males) participating in asynchronous CMC as part of their course were collated and coded for…

Peer reviewedGregor, Shirley D.; Cuskelly, E. F. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1994
Describes experiences with computer-mediated communication (CMC) in a postgraduate information systems course at Central Queensland University (Australia). Highlights include a description of a case study discussion via electronic mail; use by off-campus students; examples of CMC interactions; responses to a student survey, including student…
