In-Depth Information
Irrespective if one agrees or disagrees that text-based asynchronous communica-
tion is a discussion, the results of this study have shed light on certain pedagogical
interventions that may contribute to higher levels of learning. Given the widespread
use of text-based Internet communication tools within educational systems at
all levels, research investigating pedagogical interventions requiring students to
assertively confront conceptual conflicts and dilemmas, defend positions, make
judgments, and question or rethink current assumptions of their own as well as their
peers appears to be a promising route for further research.
