The Pedagogical Use of Whispering in the Online Classroom<br />
We give examples of instructors’ <strong>and</strong> students’ constructive use<br />
of these categories of discourse in the online classroom. We also<br />
illustrate what can go wrong when the etiquette rules for constructive<br />
use of backchannel discourse are breached. Our research is based on<br />
discourse analysis of transcripts of classes held in MUDs <strong>and</strong> MOOs.<br />
