Students in network-based classrooms converse in writing through
the use of communications software on local-area computer networks.
Through the electronic medium they are immersed in a writing
community - one that supports new forms of collaboration, authentic
purposes for writing, writing across the curriculum, and new social
relations in the classroom. The potential for collaborative and
participatory learning in these classrooms is enormous. This 1993
book examines an important type of network-based classroom known as
ENFI (Electronic Networks For Interaction). Teachers have set up
ENFI or similar classrooms in elementary and secondary schools and
at more than a hundred colleges and universities. In these
settings, teaching and learning have been dramatically transformed,
but the new technology has brought with it difficulties and
surprises. The process of creating such a classroom raises
important questions about the meaning and the realities of
educational change.
