| | TOOLS FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION |
 | | The importance of social interaction for learning has been clearly documented (Berge, 1995; Brown and Duguid, 1989; Fulford and Zhang, 1993; Gunawardena and Zittle, 1997; Kanuka and Anderson, 1998; Kearsley, 1995; Kearsley and Shneiderman, 1999; McDonald and Gibson, 1998; Moore, 1991, 1993; Nunn, 1996; Scardamalia and Bereiter, 1994). |
 | | Social interaction allows the learner to reflect and reconsider, get help and support, and participate in authentic problem solving (Berge, 1996; Brooks and Brooks, 1999; Brown and Duguid, 1989; Lave and Wenger, 1991). |
 | | This paper begins by describing the types of interactions afforded by social interaction and discusses some of the existing tools that can appropriated for these purposes and their limitations with regards to these types of interactions. |
