Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between CMC tool use and classroom activity cycles. Results of case studies of students in two high schools using email, Usenet news, and a multimedia groupware notebook are presented. Findings indicate that teacher designs for classroom activity relate strongly to the frequency with which different tools are used.
