Abstrakt: This article reports on an investigation of students' perceptions of an online discussion group conducted using PalTalk, which is Internet-based audio conferencing software. After initial practice with the program, students conducted four group sessions in which they discussed nonconfidential topics related to supervision of counseling. Students reported they felt connected to other members and that the groups facilitated learning. Groups were convenient and required no travel. Some concerns about audio quality on rural phone lines were noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
