Abstract

With the increase of Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) usage in the classroom, instructional activities are now being implemented that use online conversation for knowledge-building. Current research with The WEB Project, a Technology Innovation Challenge Grantee, subtitled "Creating a WEB of Evidence of Student Performance in Nonverbal Inquiry and Expression" can help inform practice in this area. This paper presents a synthesis of current research on face-to-face and online conversation and a short analysis of episodes of online conversations captured from The WEB Exchange (www.webproject.org), together with a few perceptions from a student focus group. Lessons learned and implications for practice are then presented.
