Book synopsis

Computers afford an environment in which use of §communication tools can promote deep learning. This §may be due to the creation of a varied learning §environment, and to the induction of active, §collaborative and self-directed learning. Students' §experience of web-supported learning was evaluated §to test the assumption that computer-mediated-§communication promotes higher order thinking. The §association between presumed active use of §communication tools, and perceptions concerning §learning principles (varied and challenging learning §environment, application of higher order thinking §skills, and lecturer feedback and encouragement to §interact frequently), was evaluated. Perceived §active use of e-mail and the chat facility was §significantly associated with recognition of the §need to apply higher-order thinking skills in order §to do well in the course. Lecturers interested in §using electronic communication tools to promote §higher order thinking may find this book useful.
