      abstract = {In recent years, KVL has been involved in developing and  implementing distance learning in
its tropical forestry  teaching programme. This paper reports on experiences with  using Gilly
Salmon’s five-stage scaffolding model with the  particular aim of increasing student
participation in  computer mediated conferencing in order to promote joint  knowledge
construction and increase learning. The model is  briefly introduced as are the two courses
used as a case.  Emphasis is on describing considerations behind the move  from theory to
practice, the experiences gained at each  stage of the model, student behaviour, and the
changed role  of the teacher. It is concluded that teaching based on the  model did result in
high degrees of student participation  and interaction with indications of higher than  usual
student grades.},
