I found this article very intersting since i've doing some reading on use of tecnologies in online environments. I thinks that another important aspect os this paper is the comparison between online classes and face-to-face classes. It also points out the way that the tutor manages the uses of CMC technologies, the way he defines the structure of the course and students's perceptions of the importance of CMC technologies when learning. This study suggests that students' uses of CMC technologies is related also to their status as students envolved in a university course.


I've also found a paper, in portuguese, about the Theory of Cooperative Freedom , and other learning theories, that can be read here and a tranlation from Laurinda Leite of an article of Prof. Paulsen that you can read here.
