Book synopsis

In an increasingly technology-driven world, learners§often meet each other in completely textual§environments. The ways in which learners construct§textual representations of themselves and how they§use text to make sense of their peers in§computer-mediated discussions is investigated here.§Two major questions are addressed: First, broadly,§how do learners experience these discussions, both as§they happen and as they reflect on them later?§Second, how do they use language to represent§themselves and make sense of their peers in these§electronic environments? Data are analyzed using a§qualitative, grounded theory approach, and a model of§students experiences emerges through constant§comparisons among and within a variety of data§sources. A number of specific processes and§relationships are identified as important to§students'' experiences in computer-mediated§discussions. Four case studies are reviewed, and§implications for research and practice are discussed.
