Abstract

Examines results of a 1992 group learning study done by Queen's University of Belfast (Northern Ireland). Compares the quality of learning and depth of critical thinking in seminars conducted face-to-face and via a computer conferencing system. Findings indicate that computer conference discussions had significantly deeper critical thinking than face-to-face seminars. (JMV)
