Teaching in Our Pajamas: Negotiating with Adult Learners in Online Distance Writing Courses
Halio, Marcia Peoples
College Teaching, v52 n2 p58 Spr 2004

This article describes the kinds of messages that men and women write and suggests strategies for course design to help defuse some of the emotion.
