Klappentext
As asynchronous learning networks are replacing
in-class interaction among students and faculty with
on-line computer communication, there is a need to
understand more about this new environment for
learning. This book examines the on-line learning
environment as a linguistic space, which affords
students and teachers a place for their social
activity of learning. The analysis is approached from
the perspective of linguistic anthropology and
examines the ways in which students use the elements
of time and place independence to navigate the
environment for their own purposes. The study
provides insights into the manner in which the online
discourse functions as a learning space, while also
supporting institutional curricular needs and the
instructional goals of the faculty. The results
presented here add to the research on distance
learning and extend our understanding the nature of
online discourse as both an intellectual dialog
through which students construct meaning and a space
for individual reflections through which students
come to understand content.
