Abstract:
Discussion, whether in online or face-to-face environments, is central to attaining and disseminating information. This book contains examples of online discussions in a variety of contexts and for a variety of purposes, allowing readers to understand what is likely to facilitate discussion online, what is likely to encourage collaborative meaning-making, what is likely to encourage productive, supportive, engaged discussion, and what is likely to foster critical thinking. The book assembles cases that address an array of research methods, online communication media, forms of expression, communication contexts, and philosophical perspectives.
