在传统的课堂上，谈话通常被认为是必须控制的噪音，但越来越多的证据表明谈话对学习和教育至关重要。实现从传统课堂到重视谈话的课堂的转变并不是一件简单的事情。计算机技术可以提供一个解决方案。然而，我们对以计算机为媒介的通信系统如何影响交互模式的理解严重有限。对互动本质的研究表明，互动通常不是由一系列不连贯的言论组成，而是一种协作努力。因此，参与者不仅要能够确定消息的目标受众，还要能够确定该消息在正在进行的消息序列中的位置，这一点非常重要。当前CMC设计的一个主要缺点是，在结构上很难将以前的消息联系起来。因此，本研究的主要目的是调查重新设计的用户界面对小组讨论中小组成员之间互动结构的影响。结果发现，基于图形的界面显著减少了孤立消息，并增加了持续的多通道交互。
In the traditional classroom, talk is usually considered noise that must be controlled, but there is mounting evidence that talk is vital to learning and education. Implementing a change from the traditional classroom to one that values talk is not a simple matter. Computer technology may provide a solution. However, our understanding of how computer-mediated communication systems affect patterns of interaction is severely limited. Research into the nature of interaction demonstrates that interaction does not normally consist of a succession of disconnected remarks but is a collaborative effort. Consequently, it is important for participants to be able to identify not only for whom a message was intended but also the position of that message in an ongoing sequence of messages. A major disadvantage of current CMC design is that it can be structurally difficult to relate previous messages. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a redesigned user interface on the structure of interaction between group members in a small-group discussion. It was found that a graphic-based interface significantly reduced isolate messages as well as increasing sustained multichannel interaction.
