Description: "Teachers need guidelines from educational researchers about integrating collaboration and communication tools into their classrooms. This volume presents research on such collaborative technology as it augments and redefines academic learning environments. The studies included here illustrate how schools, teachers, and students are discovering, employing, and modifying numerous new computer conferencing and collaborating writing tasks and tools, and their effects on social interaction and resulting student learning. Documentation is given that will help teachers to make decisions that productively transform learning environments."--BOOK JACKET.
