Abstract

A traditional group discussion course was re‐designed to operate via computer‐mediated communication. The course was offered in Jour consecutive semesters to more than 500 students and is now a regular component of the curriculum. The results showed more frequent student contact with instructors, high level of course approval by students, and group output that equalled or excelled that of traditionally taught courses. Logistical and pedagogical problems with CMC‐based instruction are discussed.
