Metaphors and Reflective Dialogue Online.
Freed, Shirley Ann
New Horizons in Adult Education, v17 n3 p4-19 Sum 2003
A study examined how adult learners used a WebCT bulletin board space to construct knowledge. Metaphors and questions of possibilities were the "tools" that connected reflection, dialogue, and self-direction to create new understandings. The online space itself provided unique opportunities for self-directed learning and reflective dialogue. (Contains 47 references.) (SK)
