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 />
