Abstract

Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALNs), a form of elearning, use computer-mediated communication to support the delivery of courses in which anytime, anywhere access to interactions among the students and between the instructor/facilitator and the students are key elements. What constitutes an ALN software platform that supports and enhances collaborative learning? How can existing learning theories and small group interaction models guide the design of effective environments for ALNs? What kinds of new software tools would best improve support for "teacher immediacy" behaviors and active, collaborative learning by students? What are the most important interface issues to accommodate multi-cultural and multinational faculty and student groups using ALN platforms? © 2004 ACM.
