Abstract,A system,for,Banchored,discussion^ is compared,with,a system,for traditional forum discussion (Blackboard), and their collaborative and communica- tive affordances,for the collaborative,processing,of academic,texts are investigated. Results show,that discussion,in the system,for anchored,discussion,is more,directed at processing the meaning of texts than discussion in the traditional forum, which is more,oriented,towards,the,sharing,of personal,opinions,and,experiences.,This difference,in orientation,produces,a more,constructive,collaboration,in the system for anchored discussion, versus a more debate-like collaboration in the forum dis- cussion. Additionally, while messages in the traditional forum resemble usual dis- cussion or email conversation and contain social and regulative comments, discussion,in the system,for anchored,discussion,is seen,to be more,efficient and Bto-the-point.’’ We conclude that for collaborative text comprehension,by under- graduate students, anchored discussion might be more suitable than traditional forum discussion. Finally, the observed differences can be explained by the stronger defined collaborative context in the system for anchored discussion, which focuses participants_ collaborative,intentions,and,their frames,of reference.
