dc.description.abstractThis study explores the nature of students' electronic interactions in onĀ­line courses and the extent to which those interactions contribute to a sense of "community" among learners. A qualitative research methodology was used to analyze data collected from participants who completed a questionnaire and who subsequently engaged in electronic mail dialogues with the researcher regarding their on-line learning experiences. All data were collected electronically. Study findings point to the unique nature of computer-mediated communication (CMC) and to its role in developing a sense of "community" among electronic learners. Most participants agreed that feeling part of a community contributed to their learning.
