• Lecturers use ground rules to make explicit protocols and conventions of
electronic conferencing as a means of highlighting the
rather different purposes
and styles of online writing compared to more formal writing tasks.
• Lecturers provide models of more and less formal writing from electronic
conferencing and ask students to compare the register of these forms of writing with
target text types (such as a case study or argument essay) in their discipline area.
The guidelines in Figure 3 might be distributed to
students as a handout or by
email, and they could be asked which ones would promote more fruitful interaction
and learning in their unique situation starting their conversations using the ICR
program and making their involvement in online discussion more meaningful and
pertinent to them. Finally, a talkative, approachable
tone at the beginning of a
conference is more likely to persuade students to feel like they are a member of a social
group rather than merely an academic one. Students are, therefore, more inclined to
offer spontaneous comments not requiring much time and analysis and thinking than
do knowledge exchanges that are more closely tied to academics.
