TOOLS FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION
"The importance of social interaction for learning has been clearly documented (Berge, 1995; Brown & Duguid, 1989; Fulford & Zhang, 1993; Gunawardena & Zittle, 1997; Kanuka & Anderson, 1998; Kearsley, 1995; Kearsley & Shneiderman, 1999; McDonald & Gibson, 1998; Moore, 1991, 1993; Nunn, 1996; Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1994). Social interaction allows the learner to reflect and reconsider, get help and support, and participate in authentic problem solving (Berge, 1996; Brooks & Brooks, 1999; Brown & Duguid, 1989; Lave & Wenger, 1991). A meta-analysis (Lou, Abrami, & d'Apollonia, 2001) evaluated the effect of social interaction in technology-based learning and uncovered important benefits for learners. Three of the more pronounced benefits for learners included improved learning strategies, greater perseverance, and reduced need for help from the instructor. These outcomes are especially important in distance learning because of the inherent difficulties with learning without the structure and motivational elements of an in-person classroom setting (Moore, 1991). Social interaction provides critical affordances for learners who are learning at a distance."
