Wang, Minjuan; Laffey, James; Poole, Melissa J.
International Journal of Educational Technology, v2 n2 Jan 2001
Investigates how participants (39 teenagers and 10 college-age online mentors) interacted and constructed shared knowledge of concepts, goals, tasks, procedures, and solutions when solving a real-world problem in an Internet-mediated project-based learning environment (iExpeditions). The main focus of the study was on how different patterns of participant interaction contributed to the social construction of shared knowledge. (Author/AEF)
