Forming A Critical Community through Telematics.
Selinger, Michelle
Computers & Education, v30 n1-2 p23-30 Jan-Feb 1998
Telematics in the form of text-based, computer-mediated communications can support teaching and learning and can help the formation and cohesion of communities of learners. This paper examines the development of a "critical community of learners" through this medium, based on experiences with students studying the Open University (OU) preservice teacher education course.
