Downey, Steve; Mohler, Jill; Morris, Joan; Sanchez, Rene – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
Online learning critically relies upon good communication between engaged parties in order to convey ideas, meanings, and values. Emerging technologies in collaborative virtual environments are providing new affordances in establishing greater online presence and, in turn, greater abilities to communicate and learn. This study examines how…
