Abstract

In a computer mediated classroom the technology is used both as a medium for transmitting content and a human arena for interaction. The quality of the learning climate of online environments depends on effective communication. The way people think, hence their guiding metaphors, can become either bridges that support or obstacles that impair the human exchange of ideas. Instructors have to manage personal images and can use different techniques to outline group metaphors to facilitate the information exchange and develop the communication framework. De Bono's Six Thinking Hats technique was a successful method to achieve this in the course, Business Information Systems.
