Their introduction was to the point and laid the foundation for the remainder of the paper. I liked how they included an appendix at the end and thought that it added to the paper. They used correct APA format and I believe that they deserve full credit for their work. I give them a 5 on the evaluation scale.

Scott,

Thanks for your explanations! Could you be more specific on "classical constructivist theories?"

What do you mean by "classical?" Thanks!

Chih

Scott,

Excellent justifications! I encourage to put more thoughts to Vygotsky's theory since his socio-cultural leaning theory aligns to new web 2.0 learning environment well.

Marta,

Thanks for the evaluations!

You mentioned: "Oral discussions are a big part of online learning as well."

I wonder why "oral" presentation is important to online learning. Oral presentation is challenging to deliver in online environment.

Chih

Suzanne, Thanks for the explanations! So there are many tools available to support our distributed learning. Many of them have similar functions. Who should determine what tools should be used for what functions? Chih

Scott, That is a great thought! I think the real challenging is we are learning what need to learn. We have dream ideas about teaching and learning; however, we have reality. Similar discussion came from one of panel discussion at AECT conference. Researchers feel real word and authentic community and activities are effective for learning. However, one semester long instruction does not facilitate such environment at all. Not long enough. Researchers argued what educators did for real world, authentice, collaborative community were not truly effective because students and teachers are under time and grade pressures.

Suzanne, Excellent point on five features! I encourage you to apply these five features to select and integrate technologies. Chih

Suzanne, Excellent point on: "They sort of add a real life element to online work. In real life work" So I assume you would agree Wiki activities provide opportunity for real world and authentic learning. Correct? Chih
