Journal of Research on Computing in Education, v30 n2 p177-201 Win 1997
A formative evaluation of computer conferences for 100 preservice teachers over five semesters examined why and how students participated, focusing on grading system, grouping, collaboration, relevance, learner control, and technological preparation. Student conference messages and postcourse surveys from the first and last semesters were examined to evaluate the impact of design changes. (PEN)
