Cooper L (2001) Using on-line technology to teach controversial issues
New Technology in the Human Services 13 (3 & 4), pp. 11-21


Abstract: This paper describes the way controversial ethical issues have been taught and assessed in a conventional classroom topic using WebCT as the on-line technology. Although students initially resented being forced to argue for controversial issues that differed from their personal position, they changed their views through the process of on-line learning. Learning activities contributing to this change included the public nature of the bulletin board and responses from other students. Overall students enjoyed using new technology.
