Recent interest in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has prompted educators to incorporate communication tools into their courses. This article reports findings of students' use of two Web-based discussion forums across two semesters to supplement face-to- face instruction. By tracking the discussions, we discovered that when students initiated reflection and integration of perspectives, they did so through concessions and oppositions to the postings of their peers. Findings point to the importance of explicit scaffolding of conversations to encourage student sharing and evaluation of perspectives.

A new group of medically fragile young adults are graduating from pediatric palliative care programs with limited expectations to live beyond early adulthood, and no comparable adult services to support their complex needs. Accessing this population is difficult because of the complexity of their conditions, the extensive personal and equipment supports that limit feasibility for travel, and divergent communication abilities. Therefore, we undertook a descriptive case study using an asynchronous modification of an online focus group, a bulletin board focus group (BBFG). The greatest strengths of the BBFG are the appeal of this methodology for young adults and the multi day focus group becomes both a community and an intervention. An important limitation of this method was participant follow through on discussion threads. This BBFG provided rich and varied types of data, and very positive participant experiences.

<p><em>Project Ibunka </em><em>is</em><em> a</em><em>n online</em><em> cross-cultural exchange </em><em>program that has a text-based bulletin board discussion</em><em> </em><em>where the students from various cultures can write about several topics from school life to social issues and give comments to each other. In the context of this study, this program was used  as a media to develop students’ writing skill. </em><em>This </em><em>study</em><em> aims to reveal the students’ writing process in the Project. This case study involved 15 English department student</em><em>s</em><em> who took part in the </em><em>project</em><em> for more than twelve weeks. The data were collected through observation and interview </em><em>and they were analyzed qualitatively</em><em>. </em><em>The findings reveal that most students experienced all stages of writing process from pre writing, drafting, revising, editting and publishing. However, the arrangement, the way the students put the stages into practice and how they applied their strategies in each stage were various. In pre writing, for example, the students experienced different mixture of conversation, silent thinking, reading some sources, clustering, and outlining strategies. In drafting, most students focused on writing their ideas and avoided losing the ideas by mixing the language while the others did revision and editting during drafting process. In revising and editting, the students asked for feedback and utilized technologies to help them improve their writing. Eventhough all students published their writing in Project Ibunka, each student had different experience of publishing process. It shows that all writers have their own way and strategy that work for them and what works for a writer may not work for another and vice versa.</em></p>

While many smokers are aware of the dangers of smoking and want to quit, the use of evidence-based cessation services remains low. At the same time, interest in new technologies to support quitting is increasing. This case study presents an initiative that sought to understand the needs of current and former smokers in Minnesota, United States, as part of an effort to redesign tobacco cessation services and engage more smokers in the quitting process. Current and former smokers were recruited to participate in a two-phase formative research study. Phase 1 ( n = 37) used an online bulletin board and a mail-in work group. Phase 2 ( n = 26) used traditional focus groups. Five major themes emerged from the research: (1) smoking is a significant part of a smoker’s identity, (2) a smoker’s readiness to quit varies, (3) many smokers need help in tipping the scale toward quitting, (4) smokers have differences in quitting styles, and (5) smokers seek barrier-free services. These research findings provide key insights that can be used to redesign cessation services to better meet the needs of smokers. Cessation services and promotional messaging should acknowledge the significant role that smoking plays in the identity of smokers, recognize the importance of a smoker’s readiness to quit, and respect differences in quitting styles. Guidelines for redesigning services based on this exploratory research are offered.

Advances in pediatric care have not provided the interdisciplinary support services required by those young adults with pediatric life-threatening conditions (pedLTCs) who live beyond childhood but have limited expectations to live past early adulthood. These young adults, the first generation to live into adulthood, face multiple challenges transitioning from a plethora of pediatric palliative services to scant adult health services. In a case study, using an innovative bulletin board focus group, we describe the complex interplay of the health, education, and social service sectors in this transition. Our descriptions include system deficits and strengths and the young adults’ resilience and coping strategies to overcome those deficits and move forward with their lives. Young adults with pedLTC need knowledgeable providers, coordinated and accessible services, being respected and valued, and services and supports that promote independence. We recommend implementation of multidisciplinary solutions that are focused on young adult priorities to ensure seamless access to resources to support these young adults’ health, educational, vocational, and social goals. The input and voice of young adults in the development of these services are imperative to ensure that multisystem services support their needs and life goals.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.
