Cooperation vs. Deliberation: Computer Mediated Conferencing and the Problem of Argument in International Distance Education.
Davis, Michael; Rouzie, Albert
International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, v3 n1 Apr 2002
A course conducted between classes in Sweden and Ohio used online debate via synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated conferencing (CMC) to augment intercultural understanding. Assumptions about CMC discourse were challenged by the international context. The process was restructured to allow asynchronous conferencing for predebate development of common ground and the postdebate development of formal arguments. (Contains 33 references.) (SK)
