17. Anh, 0206: (19/3/09) i think that your topic sentence is not good enough! it's should be more general! the best thing is that you showed the reason why the view of cohabition are quite different between US and VN. in my opinion, you should add more information about the result of this life style Thoa, 0206: (20/3/09) thanks for your comments. however, my paragraph only focus on comparison "the social attitudes toward cohabitation in US and VN" so i think the results is not necessary. and my topic sentence is the first sentence, the last sentence is to sumarise for my paragraph.

21. “… we could have many more comments on wiki. I gave comments to others’, then the others gave feedback on mine, then I commented again … continuously. It was hard to do this on paper.” (Tam, 0202) “ I like being able to share ideas with my partners every time I want and feel free to give them my comments without worrying that I am hurting their feelings. It is because I can think carefully and choose appropriate words before I type them down. More than that, I can delete previous comments and replace them with more suitable ones. ” (Phuong, 0210) However, “ It was fatiguing and inconvenient to edit on the wiki because I had to go to the Internet shop each time. It was more difficult to correct [the drafts] online than on paper because it was harder to read. It was clearer on paper.” (Anh, 0206)

Editor's Notes
Computer mediated communication (CMC) : “ the process by which people create, exchange, and perceive information using networked telecommunications systems that facilitate encoding, transmitting, and decoding messages” (December, 1996). Luppicini (2007); Herring (2001); Warschauer (1999).
Next slide: CMCL. What is CMCL?
While participation is important as collaboration cannot occur without roughly equal participation among the participants, equal participation in itself is not enough. The level of interaction and synthesis of ideas of the group should also and mainly be analysed. Without these three characteristics, group work may be many things, but it cannot be called collaboration (Ingram & Hathorn, 2004).
