Finally, allgroups engaged in metadiscourse both off-line and on-line. Figure 6 shows two examples ofstudent metadiscourse notes. In the upper note the student is raising the point of revising theirknowledge building question and in the lower note the student is summarizing and reflectingupon the group’s recent progress.Knowledge building theory discourages
