Comparison of Power Relations within Electronic and Face-to-Face Classroom Discussions: A Case Study.
Jeris, Laurel
Australian Journal of Adult Learning, v42 n3 p300-11 Nov 2002
Online discussions and transcriptions of face-to-face discussions by graduate students (14 online, 14 on campus) were analyzed. Technical support was not available 24 hours a day to online students who were predominantly women. Online discussions were more student-to-student, classroom discussions student-to-teacher. The analysis suggests how power relations are redistributed in electronic environments. (Contains 14 references.) (SK)
