The primary purpose of this study was to examine how adult learners used a WebCT bulletin board space to construct knowledge. Cognitive psychologists are clear that active involvement with other people is necessary for learning. Yet, what stimulates the discussion online? How does simple “posting” or “argument” develop into “deep reflection?” How does this online learning environment provide for significant and sustained interactions? What is it about a WebCT bulletin board space that facilitates adult learning? In this analysis, metaphors and questions of possibilities were the “tools” that connected reflection, dialogue and self-direction to create new understandings. The space itself provided unique opportunities for self-directed learning and reflective dialogue. |
