Selected Topics from a Matched Study between a Face-to-face section and a Real-time Online section of a University Course
Two sections of an interpersonal skills building university course were observed for the purposes of this matched study. The face-to-face (F2F) section was in a classroom on the Concordia University campus in Montreal, Canada, while the non-turn-taking real-time online section used a Web application...
