Abstract
This paper describes a study that examined how an Internet telecommunications tool, EdPsy Web, was used to support a pre-service teacher training course at the level of higher education has changed the quality of social and intellectual interactions that were different from what has happened in a traditional classroom setting. Findings of the study showed that students had seen the value of and demonstrated a positive attitude toward network learning after using Edpsy Web to create discourses. When assignments were delivered in an electronic form, students were motivated to see and compare what other students had accomplished and thus were more aware of what they had achieved. This network learning environment provides more opportunity for collaborative thinking and knowledge sharing. The analysis of electronic discourse explicitly demonstrated the multiple thread nature of electronic message interactions. In general, this network-enhanced classroom setting offered an alternative pattern of interaction which differed from the traditional face-to-face setting in some ways, but not all.
