Abstract
This paper reports on an exploratory study which aimed to identify students’ communicating needs as they progressed through a unit of work. The University delivers education both in face-to-face workshops and via distance education in which students are supplied with study materials. Current discourses talk of “converging” these two modes of delivery. This means reducing the amount of face-to-face teaching/learning and increasing the amount of learning/teaching interaction that takes place online. The intent of the study is to inform the design of an online environment to support converged delivery.
