Developing a Peer Learning Community through the Use of CMC

communication (CMC) to facilitate the construction of learning community. The formation of learning community, which involves students working together to solve ill-structured problems and putting applying knowledge and experience to heuristic teaching. "Peer Learning" broadly includes cooperative and collaborative learning, and which involves learners working together for achieving specific learning goals. We report on the building ofa peer learning approach through the use of CMC enhances flexible learning Abstract This study investigated computer-mediated community (i.e. the teaching environment). Learning processes that are "grounded in talk" can stimulate higher order thinking skills by providing a context and mechanism for explanation, justification and reason (Oliver 1997). Through these peer learning activities, learner interaction with lecturer(s) and other learners becomes essential if they can master the concepts and skills associated with their profession.
