Discussions by E-Mail: Experiences from a Large Class on Multiculturalism.

Meacham, Jack

Liberal Education, v80 n4 p36-39 Fall 1994

An experiment using electronic mail discussions to improve communication in a college class of 200 students yielded over 1,780 messages, with two-thirds sent by about one-fourth of the students. Two problems emerged: students responding to old messages after discussion had enlarged, and infrequent mail reading. (MSE)
