GEN: Week 3 of Community of Inquiry Seminar Series begins today!

[Sylvia Currie <currie@idmail.com>]

What are the differences between spoken and written language?

What are implications of these differences on learning?

How can we use what we learn about the nature of online language to automate
the currently very labour-intensive process of transcript analysis?

Discuss these and other important questions during Week 3 of our 4-week
seminar series: Learning and Teaching in a Computer Conference Environment
-- Results of an Investigation of Cognitive, Social, and Teaching Presence
Online.  

Week 3 (Oct 8-14)
Moderator: Walter Archer, Professor and Dean of Extension at the University
of Saskatchewan
"What effect text?: Text-based teaching and learning"
