Channel Effects: Two Methods of Letter Writing in the Classroom.
Medley, R. Michael
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v42 n8 p668-75 May 1999
Describes how the author used class letter writing to fulfill both academic functions and affective functions. Discusses the remarkably different results produced using two different methods (a class newsletter and an electronic forum), noting that circumstances of the class and the purpose of the instructor help determine which method is more appropriate.
