Debra and all,
This technique was used in an ESL instruction course that I participated in
at the University of Tennessee. Only part of the class was online- we
still had some time in the classroom face-to-face. But the online
discussions were very lively as we were asked to respond thoughtfully to at
least 3 other postings when making our responses. There were some very
good examples of not only comparing and contrasting ideas, but building new
knowledge out of that.
