Student Perceptions of Electronic Discussion Groups

Silva S. Karayan and Dr. Judith A Crowe
T.H.E. Journal, Vol 24 No 9, April 1997, p. 69-71

While anecdotal evidence abounds, hard data on the effectiveness of new technology tools is still rare. These two authors studied if, and how, student behaviors changed as a result of being in electronic discussion groups. One interesting finding: even students who claimed to "not like" participating, reported that their behavior had changed in some ways.
