Ahern, Terence C.; And Others
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v8 n3 p291-309 1992
Describes a study that examined increasing peer interaction in an asynchronous learning environment by investigating the effect of a teacher's discourse style on the level and quality of student participation in a computer-mediated discussion. Three discourse styles (i.e., questions, statements, and conversational) are studied, and further research is suggested. (21 references) (LRW)
