Video Notes as a Support for Telementoring
in a Knowledge Forum Classroom
Robertson, Hewitt, Messina and Scardamalia
�Students who have poor reading or
writing skills can still interact
with mentors;
�Video conveys emotional content
(through facial expressions
and voice)
�Video notes allow children to display
classroom artifacts to
mentors
�Students can create and watch videos
when it is convenient
for them (unlike real-time videoconferencing)
�Video notes can be replayed over and
over again and shared
among students.
