The international eLearning Group on the Knowledge Network Academici is inviting to a three days online discussion.

Wassila Mehanna is an independent eLearning and pedagogy consultant based in London, UK. Her recent research revolved around the online discussions and she has examined 6 million words of online interactions/discussions to tease out her model of effective online teaching and learning. This two week discussion will revolve around "What

The discussion will start on 20 March 2006 and will be visible on the eLearning Group shortly before the start of the discussion and until 22 of March 2006. All eLearning specialists can join the discussion on Academici, non-members need to register first, which is free. To join the eLearning Group, just click "Join this Group" on the right hand side.
