This paper explores the process of supporting learning through the use of a ‘low impact' Group Support System (GSS) based on handset technology. The protocol used is described and a conceptual framework is proposed with which to explain practice. The framework centres on the encouragement of conversation which is focused on the reasons for differences, coupled with a reduction of personal anxiety, achieved with the flexibility offered through the GSS meeting environment. A field-based case study in post graduate education is reported in detail, and a number of other field-based case studies are reported in summary. These serve to demonstrate the potential for suitably designed Group Support Systems to aid groups to overcome certain fundamental difficulties with which they have to contend.
