The Role of Technology in Supporting Learning Communities.
Riel, Margaret; Fulton, Kathleen
Phi Delta Kappan, v82 n7 p518-23 Mar 2001
In a learning community, students learn to cooperate and make teams work. Past technologies (print, photography, film, and computers) have enabled idea sharing, but are one-way communication modes. Broader learning communities have been made possible through electronic field trips, online mentoring, science investigations, and humanities activities. (Contains 21 references.) (MLH)
