Abstract
This study involved designing and implementing a collaborative peer review and analysis activity in a computer-mediated environment for two very different classes: A freshman writing class and a plant science lab. The analysis of electronic interchanges revealed that student participation and interaction in the computer-mediated environment differed from the traditional, face-to-face setting in both cases by exhibiting increased participation and increased student-to-student interactions. The social conventions for participation and interaction in the Computer Mediated Communications (CMC) interactive writing activities were influenced by the computer interface, the behavior exhibited by the teacher and fellow students in the CMC discussions, and the nature of the topic being discussed.
