KW - interactionThe online discussion forum is the main mode of interaction for Web-based learning. Existing online instructional management systems contain primitive discussion tools that do little to facilitate online interaction and collaborative discourse. This paper proposes the design of a new type of software - the TextWeaver - to meet these needs. In particular
KW - we illustrate improved design in four areas: reading and composing
KW - message keywording and weaving
KW - material storing and reusing
KW - and working offline. The paper starts with an overview of existing network-based educational systems and discusses software design considerations for networked computers and related pedagogical principles. This is followed by a description of the proposed design of the TextWeaver and a discussion of its pedagogical implications. We conclude with a discussion of evaluation strategies for the software
KW - future directions for research
KW - and a summary of our conclusions.
